What plants can I plant in a very unattractive ditch in my front yard, right next to the road? in full sun?
Shasta daisies, Black eyed susans, cone flower, hen's and chicks, day lilies, Yarrow, Russian sage, grasses lots of beautiful stuff
Reply:Try a few crepe myrtles they make such beautiful blooms and will last for years. You wont have to keep replanting every year.
Reply:marijuana. no no strike that. bad idea. i think some wild flowers or daises would work. go to the garden store. African violets are nice.
Reply:they sell packages of mixed wildflowers that you can scatter around. some are designed to attract butterflies, some are for colour. i would suggest checking this out, it's an easy, low cost, low maintenance suggestion.





best of luck!!
Reply:sunflowers,,,birds love em
Reply:I would go with daylilies. Other choices could be iris, sedum, types of daisies; or maybe creeping phlox or a evergreen groundcover like juniper.
Reply:creeping phlox - pink or white
Reply:If I were you I would plant as many indiginous wildflowers as I could. That is very pretty and great for birds and butterflies.





Best wishes.
