What plants are you coveting??

[Anonymous]

Any plants/shrubs you really want in your garden but for whatever reason can't grow?

I've always wanted a hydrangea. But, I haven't done my research on them to see what kind of light they need or if deer are fond of them. And, I'm not sure I have the space.

I would love to have some hosta too. I think they would be so perfect in my front bed but, in the past I've found that deer eat them like candy. And, we frequently have deer.

My Nile lilies never do well. I gave up on them

hydranea are pretty easy to grow...they are deer resistant so no issues there. Will grow ok in part shade, will do very well in sun also. They do need a little acidity so would like some compost or holly tone every now and then, but overall very good, easy plants to grow.

Marijuana. For culinary purposes.

Lilacs. Had them growing up in the upper Midwest. Love the smell but they don't do well here in the heat.

None. I have tried many over the years. Now, I just want a simple garden that does not take more than 10 minutes to water each morning.

Agave and barrel cactus--not happening here!

An acre of mature trees with a woodland garden with a stream...

In reality, we have a rowhouse in DC with a postage-stamp sized yard.

Lily of the Valley

I love these and both my Grandmother and my DH's grandmother had them in their yards in abundance. I can't seem to get them to grow.

Mature Blueberry bushes.

Blueberry bushes. But in our backyard, the fruit would be eaten first by all the birds and squirrels and wouldn't be worth the effort.

Trees... a long list of trees...have a small yard in the city.

A fig tree/bush. Love fresh figs. We barely have the space (also a small postage stamp sized row house in the city), but I've always wanted one.

Been trying to grow asparagus. Got two years worth of growth but this past winter seems to have killed it. Sigh. (you harvest asparagus after 3 years of development).
