Also try low growing Indian Hawthorne and sun loving perennials (such as Echinacea or Daylilies) and evergreen groundcovers (such as Blue Rug Juniper) around and in front of these mid-size shrubs. Use taller woody ornamentals or ornamental grasses as a backdrop. Try Paniculata type hydrangeas, Loropetalum and Miscanthus.



Deadheading encourages new blooms through to fall.
