In need of partial shade help #27507 April 7th, 2005 at 06:46 PM

I am in zone 4, I have burning bushes,spireas, a dogwood, astilbes, bleeding hearts, liatris, hostas and dianthus. I am trying to keep in the pink color range. Any idea on a plant that would be good as a filler. No taller than a ft high would be ideal and quite thick. Thanks.

Daphne cneorum 'Ruby Glow' maculatum 'Anne Greenway' maculatum 'Beacon Silver' maculatum 'Orchid Frost' maculatum 'Pink Pewter' Phlox stolonifera 'Home Fries' (Phlox) Sedum hydrangeoides 'Roseum' (Stonecrop) spicata 'Baby Doll' Gypsophila repens 'Rosea' (Baby's Breath) Vaccinium macrocarpon (Blueberry) good luck with all your gardening projects.

They have the most incredible fragrance. I have Daphne 'Lawrence Crocker' which has rose-pink flowers that bloom throughout the summer off and on.
