Ann -

Right now I have some stock and petunias in a circle around the base of my
large mesquite tree.  They seem to get enough morning sun early to keep them
happy and after the little leaflets fall off, they’ll get even more sun
since the tree will be bare for a while.  Of course, these flowers will die
in the summer.

A couple of years ago I planted vinca minor – the leafy trailing kind (also
called periwinkle) that has little blue/purple flowers, not the vinca with
the multicolored flowers.  It grew and grew and grew -------.  It looked
very nice because it was green all year long and made kind of a green mound
around the tree, but it got out of hand.  Maybe I didn’t trim it enough.   I
finally pulled it out.  So this is a good choice if you’re willing to do
regular trimming.

What can we plant under mature mesquite and palo verde trees in Tucson?  We
currently are successful with rosemary, but shrubs get leggy.  I'm looking
for suggestions for shrubs, flowers and cacti.  Thanks
