Hello! I garden in zone 9b and have a bed that in summer is in full sun all day. However, starting in September through the winter, it receives only a bit of morning sun (maybe 1.5 hours) and the rest of the day it gets filtered light. I currently have shell gingers at the back of the bed which is against the lanai but I am planning to move them because they look terrible all summer (which is half the year for us!) because of the harsh sun. I am looking for advice on shrubs that will do well in these conditions and will get no more than about 4 feet tall so as not to block our view of the pond at the back of the property. Any advice?
