I send these types of questions now to Andrea Meckley. She LOVES these kinds of questions. So thank her for answers to your question, “What plant should I use for….. Your “which plant should I use” is now answered by a Certified Horticulturist. A list of plants for specific purposes is fairly easy to compile and readily available on the internet. The problem I have is giving recommendations to homeowners, they go to the nursery, the nursery doesn’t have the plants, they come back to me, I send more examples, they find it at the nursery and don’t like it or the nursery person doesn’t recommend it, they come back to me…etc. This is the reason I usually send people to the nursery and tell them to come back to me with five plants they find at the nursery and then I go through and tell them the pluses and minuses of each. This is why I hate recommending plants in a blog. You are faced with availability problems and the likes and dislikes of a homeowner. It is not like making a pesticide or fertilizer recommendation.
