Question:

We have a very shaded area in the back of our yard, and are looking for some shrubs that would help provide a screen between our yard and the neighbor’s. Any suggestions for something that would grow around 6′ high (ideally) and be happy in the undergrowth of several trees?

Aronia, Chokeberry

Mammoth Sunflower

Fastest blooming sunflower

What is the fastest blooming/maturing sunflower species or cultivar that grows at least 3-4ft?
