hi – I’m a geologist – live in DC (zone 7b) –
–
1. have a small southern facing plot (56 x 56 inches) of white roses and would like to surround them with a colorful fragrant plant that can tolerate / thrive full sun –
–
2. have a very small backyard patio with a towering elegant crepe myrtle (on the north side of a 3 story townhouse) providing filtered / non-direct sun underneath with several white dwarf azaleas – would also like a colorful fragrant plant since both the back patio screen doors and front screen door provide a cross draft –
–
any help would be most appreciated –
thanks,
jp
