My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

will Plumbago used as groundcover kill roses

15 years ago

I love the short Plumbago and planted it to be used as groundcover but now I wonder if it will choke out or kill my roses. I have about 15 roses planted there.
