Weigela (all of them) a lot of them are 3' x 4' I only have one that I had to clip. I love the colors.
I clip these in the Spring if they look a little bigger than I want them.

There are a lot of zone 8 peonies. They are beautiful and fragrant.
Yes I picked up my Allysum seeds I found some blue ones I am going to mix with the white, I also picked up some other blue flowering seeds. Cosmos and Zinnias I always plant near the peony because when they bloom close to them it looks like my peonies are blooming all summer. They even have what they call zinnia peony.
