Rascal on Sidewalk

You have to look closely, but there are more yellow danelion heads today than yesterday. But, the good news is that a bunch are looking a bit peak-ed.

As long as we are looking at the front yard, I am beginning to toy with the idea of planting a low hedge along the sidewalk that goes from front porch along the foundation area to the Spirea on the right. Hedge would not be against the house; it would be planted in the are that is on the lawnside of the walk. Low, meaning about 12-16 inches, 24 inches tall at the most.

Perhaps a english boxwood or winter gem boxwood?
