I'm sending pic of my soon to be new house. Speaking of my planning.... this granite planter in the front has GOT to have some work. I've ordered 50 Iris rhizomes and thought I would put them around the rim inside but I definately need something to go in the middle besides the overwhelming elephant ear looking plant. It gets full sun... anybody got an idea for a no maintenance plant that will get viewed from all sides and gets full sun? I only want it to be about 30" tall. sr
