Looking for some plants to cover ditch in front of house. any suggestions?

exposed to sun. thought about holly trees but they are so common. planting azaeleas behind them. not a high traffic area of the yard. was suggested a carolina jasmine but i know nothing about them. southern climate, about 4-5 feet width to 12-15 feet across to play with. nothing that gets too big ( 6 feet or more)

crown vetch, grows rapidly and is not a tall plant ..considered ground cover used on state highways

Reply:You could make a nice little garden bed out of rocks, bricks or pavers and plant some colourful bulbs or a small/medium shrub/tree with fragrant flowers like (Magnolia - heaven scent or Michelia figo port wine). They look great and smell fantastic. It depends if it is a sunny or shady position on what sort of plant to put there. Maybe take a trip down to the local nursery and check out some different plants and see what you like best for the conditions of the position.
Reply:We planted lilacs in our front. They smell so nice right now! There are different colors these might work?
