April 20, 2017Q.Hanging Flowers
Hello! I love the idea of hanging a plant at my front door, but have not had much luck. Each summer I spend money on a hanging basket only for the flowers to die within a couple of weeks despite watering and attention. This area gets a lot of direct sun, and I wonder if the house's white vinyl siding even intensifies the heat. Is there a type of flower that can withstand this level of sun? Is it something I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Columbus, Ga, Zone 8Q.What to plant around pool
I have a long strip of dirt around the pool. It is about 63'x 3'. It is partial to full sun, mostly morning shade. I don't know what to plant there! I have been doing so much research. i want plants that are not to pricey and plants that I won't have to plant yearly. I was thinking Lambs ears, because I just love them, but what are some other plants I could put with them?

May 2, 2017A.It can be tough to plant under a Holly.
You can add Boxwood as a perimeter plant and Vinca Vine may be successful.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/boxwood/common-boxwood-varieties.htm
