It looks great now, but in a few years, I think it will be too close - if I had it to do again, I'd plant them at 4 or 5 feet apart. Today was sunny and warm - makes me feel like it's spring - and this hedge will be one of the first things to explode in color.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888999648897092221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-56533649259267630702008-12-19T21:00:00.000-06:002008-12-19T21:00:00.000-06:00I bought some bottlebrush (upright) today for a he...I bought some bottlebrush (upright) today for a hedge/border.

Pato de Chiva can get really large (20' tall). Does it grow in your area?<BR/><BR/>Amy - We spent last evening outside and the hummingbirds were buzzing by like little jet fighters - I have many more than my neighbor and it's got to be the bottlebrush! <BR/><BR/>Tina - I like to think of it as not living with restrictions! (but my mom used to refer to it as "a day late and a dollar short") <BR/><BR/>Jan - I'm very inexperienced with daylily - maybe you can help educate me. <BR/><BR/>Ariyana - When I cut down the yucca bloom, I expected a really exotic aroma. How disappointing that I smelled nothing! but it could be my "smeller" - it's not what it used to be.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888999648897092221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-84897747419437406782008-04-19T01:06:00.000-05:002008-04-19T01:06:00.000-05:00Does the Yucca treculeana flower stalk have a nice...Does the Yucca treculeana flower stalk have a nice scent? We have the Soap Tree Yucca here that has the most heavenly scent. They don't bloom every year, but when they do, I think the fragrance is as wonderful as orange blossoms!<BR/>AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-33231193401692147872008-04-18T19:29:00.000-05:002008-04-18T19:29:00.000-05:00The daylily is one of my favorite plants and yours...The daylily is one of my favorite plants and yours is so pretty.
