I was just talking to her and evidentially her college education was a waste because she cut all the tags off the plants and threw them away. She said he told her nothing would spread. I told her I think he lied. She said the red bushes are some type of rose that will bloom "all year". Don't believe that either.

joclyn, she said those are roses - not azaleas. I told her that stuff would spread but she said he assured her it wouldn't. We'll see.

I'm not an expert on gardening at all but I would suggest trees, start with small ones, they grow faster than you would think (there cheaper and easier to plant too). Its a nice big front yard and I know it gets HOT in Georgia; trees would provide the house with shade too. There is such a variety of trees that you can pick from, so many possibilities! It would dress up the front yard too.

How about a mountain fire pieris?
I have one and they get really bright red leaves on them part of the year and then they flower in the early spring--white flowers.....the flowers resemble lily of the valley, hence the reason the bush is also named the Lily of the Valley Bush. They are very low maintenance and are related to Rhodies and Azaleas.....Mine is really small now but they do grow, and I know that's a concern---but I don't think they'd be too hard to keep small, and they are evergreen.

I have that too Loz and it's so pretty when it's red.
I think she's completed the project.

It is isn't it?
I don't see them often around here, so when I found it at Lowe's I had to buy it. 
Mine is still pretty small, only a few feet tall....
Do you cut the old flowers off when it's done flowering?
