I planted a whole row of bushes Fown my driveway…a “living fence” as it were.
Cardinals love my bushes.
I, of course, love my cardinals.
We have a loooooooong hedge, along one side of our property, that they seem to ignore.
For some reason, they love the two loropetalums, closer to the house.
Maybe they feel better protected from the snakes/critters, closer to the house. Not sure.
