Ballwin Yard Overhaul

Another view of the plants bordering the front walkway. The butterfly bush in the center is a variety that grows more columnar, but will need yearly trimming to keep it in shape. The Soft Touch Hollies tend to go through some shock in our climate. They loose the bottom leaves and grow great from the top. A solution to this is to cut the shrub back at the beginning of the spring just as the growing season has started.
