    im thinking of installing 2 obelisks in 2 small beds in my front garden. the soils not that deep in the area im thinking of fitting them. the idea is to create sort of pillars into the main area of the front garden. can anyone suggest what to plant that would be managable and would keep some colour and foliage during the autumn months. honeysuckle was recomended to me , would this be a good choice. the area wouldnt be very sheltered and the obelisks would be 6ft tall approx.
