We have some Junipers in a bed in our front yard and we are going to dig those up and replace them with monkey grass

perhaps. Anyone have any suggestions on what might be a good fit for our bed that could replace the junipers. They're dying and have holes in them and really need to go. Looking for some low maintenance shrub or plant to put in their place. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    If you have a lot of sun, you could look at daylillies, lavender cotton, or mondo grass. For shade, try periwinkle, creeping liriope, or wild ginger.

    Make sure if they have rot to take them off the property or burn them. Check to see if an thing else has rot before you plant new. Azaleas are nice this time of year. They are easy maintenance and need acidic soil. Some hostas are low like the junipers but are perennials, Generally your going to need to access the soil, amount of sun and how much you want to spend.
