I live in zone 3, and have a flower garden that I'm having a real hard time with. I've got 6 peony plants that line the front part of the garden (the back of the garden butts up against my house), and those are thriving. However, three years ago, I planted some Endless Summer Hydrangeas behind the peonies, and though they have come back every year, they are *very* small in stature (no more than a foot in height), and frankly, aren't visible due to the peonies in front of them. I've decided it would be in their best interest to move them elsewhere (where they can get more sun), and as such, I'm looking for ideas on what might be planted behind these peonies.. I've been searching online for hours, and still don't have any ideas as to what direction to go in.
Things to note:
- the plant will need to be ok in partial (to full) shade
- looking for something that will get some height, so as to be visible behind the peonies (which are currently about 3 feet tall), so they would need to be able to get to 4 feet tall at minimum
- prefer something on the low-maintenance side if possible
- as mentioned above, would need something hardy to zone 3
If anyone has *any* ideas, I'd be grateful for the advice!!
Thanks!
