| I'm in the same boat (and zone) as you Melinda. Would love to be able to grow big lush Philo's but no go here. I've been looking at (and attempting to locate here) Fatshedera lizzei (Variegatum). It's a cross between Fatsia japonica and Hedera. Big leaves, not invasive, needs some support to climb or will grow as ground cover -- and I like the look of it. Check it out and see what you think. I'd be interested to hear any other suggestions too. |
