| Aspect? Soil? Location? Gardening capacity of the garden owners? Warm or cool pinks and blues? Variegation ok? Treading gingerly in the unknown here: Ceanothus if sunny, Deutzia, deciduous Azalea eg delicatissima, Magnolia stellata (can be pruned back and still flower) Hebe for pink and white, dwarf or groundcover conifers - various eg Chamaecyparis, Juniper for shape, colour, texture, Phormium - if the climate allows. Go for a short cultivar, though. Camellia Snippet or Quintessence or similar. Rose Nozumi or any of the less rampant carpet roses. Dwarf flowering peach or similar. Rhododendron 'Blue Tit' or similar. Pink French lavender. Dwarf Nandina with the strong autumn colour. Clematis integrifolia or heracleifolia for sprawling. Hope that gets the ideas moving - one way or another! |
