Kansas City Landscaper’s Favorite Plant — Cole’s Prostrate Hemlock

When I am designing a Kansas City landscape I try to use unusual plants in ordinary places and ordinary plants in unusual places.  This plant is one that tends to be on the unusual side.  I love how it adds instant age to a new landscape.  It is slow growing and has relatively few pest problems in Kansas City’s Landscapes.

I have found this plant is an excellent choice for may of my landscape designs when I am looking to add an interesting and hardy low growing plant.

    I read similar article also named City Landscaper Favorite Plant - Cole’s Prostrate Hemlock | Kansas City Landscaping and Lawn Care Ideas - Hamons Custom Landscaping, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
