OK, here’s a challenge for the group. More of a deckscaping question than gardening.
Large deck, large planter - probably 15 gallons or more.
Looking for a nice vertically growing evergreen shrub. Am in Atlanta, so something hardy enough to make it through a winter here in a planter on a deck.
I already have a sky pencil holly in another planter.
Any ideas?
