I have written a very lengthy response twice now & lost it. I wanted to thank you all individually but technology is not cooperating.
However, because of your wonderful and helpful suffestions I have decided to go with juniper. I have selected Blue rug and Calgary junipers with alternating strips of snow in summer. I would have loved to get several little junipers but I could only afford four. I have the snow in summers and a wildflower mix ( with some perennials mixed in) for some instant coverage since the junipers will be tiny.
I also got lavenders, a dark purple nine bark and will pick up a couple red twigged dogwoods. I'm posting this now so I won't lose it again!
