I just bought a coneflower & a balloon flower and a lily plant. I love deep purple{my husband says I over do it on this color:)}, yellow and dark red. I would love to put some fragrence by my frontdoor.The sun in the front gets blazing hot. It's 93 today. Under the front bedroom window I was going to plant this beautiful bush with white flowers last year and when I started digging the hole (about 5 inches deep) I noticed a pvc pipe. I of course couldn't put the plant there and I have noticed this pipe runs along the north of the house too. Don't understand why so i might be limited to how far I can dig. how far do roots go into the ground anyway and you think it would hurt the pipe? here's a pic of what i'm dealing with.
