Q: I’m writing for my daughter who lives in Mandan. She is interested in planting a small shrub row next to her home. The planting area is on the south side of her home. The planting area measures 46 inches wide by 35 feet long. Next to the planting area is a paved alley, which creates a lot of heat. Is there a shrub that can be planted that will take the heat or should we plant something else? Do you have any other suggestions? A: I wouldnt bother with shrubs, if you don’t mind. I would suggest that your daughter get a prairie wildflower mix. It will explode into a riot of color that will grow back each year. The flowers need little maintenance, just an annual mowing before new growth begins in the spring. Wildflower mixes are available at local garden supply stores or through catalogs.
