  - ok! these - there's tons of different ones too - and they grow big and all Summer long - and come back each year bigger -- (link) - JenBro Sep 6, 09:43 5
    - Maybe they'd work, I'm not a fan of growing big or the waxy appearance. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 09:51 4
      - mums? junipers (that you could trim to fit). -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 09:53 1
        
        or fragrant stuff like rosemary and lavender (which grow into bushes). -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 09:54
      - if you have a good nursery in the area, maybe you could ask them for ideas. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 09:53 1
        
        Or just google plants for narrow beds. -- nm - mara Sep 6, 10:03
you mean the deck? -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 09:37 3
- Yep....I have 16" beds on the outside of them and most shrubs don't fit in that narrow a space -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 09:39 2
  - ornamental grass? -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 6, 10:00 1
    - Maybe,...... I'll need to dig some more. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 10:08
