Plantings for cemeteries

October 12, 2012 12:55 PM

There are several criteria to keep in mind when selecting plants to adorn a grave site. First, check with the cemetery about any planting rules it might have. Next, look for low-maintenance plants, because you won't always be there to remove spent blooms or prune. Drought tolerance is equally important for the same reason. Consider, too, the mature size of the plants.
