What plants can i grow near my property?

Gaz67 · April 2015

What plant can i grow that would be safe having close to my house and not kill all the grass around it by sucking up all the water?

I'd like it to grow maybe two metres high and fairly bushy, that's pretty much all i'm after.

Any suggestions would be welcome and you can choose any type of plant that you think would look nice. I live in Devon.

Thank you.

Very few plants do well growing in grass. If you will be clearing the grass away from your planting site, you can plant almost anything except a tree or really large shrub. Do you want it to grow up the wall of your house? Wisteria is lovely.

I should have said I don't want it growing up the side of the house. And I don't mind clearing a circle of grass around it. I just would like a few suggestions of what people personally suggest. Thank you for replying.

Some I would consider are:

Choisya ternata https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/details?plantid=427

Hydrangea paniculata http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/hydrangea-paniculata-grandiflora/classid.3985/

Cotinus 'Grace' http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/cotinus-grace/classid.1011/
