Thank you so much for starting this thread!
I'm looking for a small ornamental perennial that's not going to mind being in a container no bigger than 24 inches tall.
This is a part of the front yard that can't be amended, so I was thinking about using several large planters instead. The lighting in this area is particularly tricky, because it's very shady in spring, fall, and winter, but when the sun is at its highest point in the middle of the summer, it gets blazing sun right in the middle of the day.
So something that
-has 4 season interest
-stays around 2 feet tall
-has ornamental leaves/flowers/bark
Would Little Lime or Pinky Winky hydrangeas fit the bill? I was thinking about grouping 2 or 3 of these containers together.
I love redtwig dogwoods, but they'd get too big for this space.
