Creating a natural screen for a utility box or unsightly area is an easy way to elevate the space. Plant ornamental grasses like Karl Foerster, Switchgrass or Miscanthus, complemented by low-maintenance ground cover such as Creeping Phlox. Progress to medium-height perennials like Veronica and Salvia for added vibrancy. Complete the transformation with a focal point flowering shrub like Spirea or Dwarf Weigela.
Ensure successful establishment and growth with Earl May Plant Start, enriched soil using Structure Soil Conditioner, and nourished plants with Earl May Organic Planting Mix.
