Azaleas or Hydrangeas for a foundation bush/plant?
Anyone here have thoughts or experience with Azaleas or Hydrangeas as a
foundation plant or bush?? I want to plant about 3 along the backside of
my house ... we used to have bamboo there that the previous homeowners planted but our landscaper cut it
down last fall when we did the leaf and yard clean up because apparently its illegal in Mass (zone 6) and bad for
foundations because of the aggressive roots ... Anyway, I have a brick
lined bed that runs along the house and need to fill it with something
that's a perennial and will have some color in the spring/summer and
some greenery in the other times ... The soil can be made more acidic or rich depending on the additives ...
Re: Azaleas or Hydrangeas for a foundation bush/plant?
Most azaleas and all hydrangea are deciduous and won't have their leaves in the winter.
If it's between the two, I prefer hydrangeas. Azaleas always seem ratty looking to me when they aren't in bloom.
Most azaleas are evergreen. If they look ratty when they aren't in bloom, you're not looking at healthy ones.
Hydrangeas are deciduous.
