frostweed said:I am thinking of a few plants that would be good but I don't think they are cold hardy in your zone.

How about Coralberry, http://www.wildflower.org/plan...

If you get a Buttonbush be prepared to water it often, they like a lot of water.

I will think but with the zones being so different I may not have good suggestions.

Coralberry might be interesting. I just checked, it is available locally. The berry colour is pretty and I've been looking for more ways to feed the birds.

About the Buttonbush, I emailed the owner of a native tree/shrub place asking him to hold one for me and he wrote back warning me about that. I've been doing ok this year with some wet plants and plan to put the Buttonbush near there.
