irishdancersgram, Next spring, IMMEDIATELY AFTER it finishes blooming, cut it back. It will bush out and you should get blooms again the following year. There is a two week window to prune them back after blooming. Do it as soon as possible to ensure that you don't cut off the bloom buds on the branches. The new branches will have time to make the bloom buds for next year's flush. ~Annie

I can only take anything that is deer-proof, as everything else basically disappears from my garden. That's a pretty short list, but here are some I could use more of: Monkshood (any variety) Trillium Ferns (especially varieties other than Christmas fern, which I have lots of) Bleeding Heart Astilbe Iris (especially any named or unusual varieties) Columbine Lavender Perennial salvia Heuchera Virginia bluebells Echinacea Foxgloves (digitalis) Pulmonaria Anything else that's deer-resistant and shade-tolerant Also, my vegetable garden is fenced off, so I might be interested in some veggie plants.

Is there a need for privacy or reducing wind? If you can budget for it maybe add an open fence or trellis first and then train sasanqua camellias, star jasmine and similar choices (including clematis) onto that. Otherwise narrow selections of broadleaf evergreen shrubs are being offered, 'Sky Pencil' holly, 'Graham Blandy' box and others - many new gardens have small planting spaces so narrow- and dwarf-growing selections are being made and put on the market. The three you have listed are not particularly suitable, all too large-growing and the first and third are deciduous and also lack sufficient refinement for use in intimate or frequently viewed spots - plus the barberry is actually spiny. The mockorange does smell in flower but the rest of the time...good backing perennials in mixed border of some size but not really producing enough value to be used in a location like you have described.
