| My mailbox is on the road and I would like some ideas for plants that can deal with the road salt. I am particularly interesting in plants that will stay neat looking, ie: more formal then cottage. I don't care for grasses in the front of the house either.
Thanks! |

| There was an article written in a garden magazine in the last year on salt tolerant plants. Including those for the "hell strip" between the road and sidewalk. Can't recall one! Do a search on salt tol. plants, ok? Karen |

| Several of my neighbors have planted daylilies around their mailboxes and they seem to be thriving even tho our salt trucks come often each winter.. It takes a lot to kill a daylily and they make great foliage in the summer along with pleasant flowers...of course, nothing in the winter.. Jean |
