Need ideas for 3 ft. wide shrub in zone 4

If it doesn't have to be a bush, check out the different kinds of Amsonias. I like the narrow leaf varieties. They bloom bunches of little blue star shaped flowers in the spring, then have seed pods that hang on them. I shear mine back after blooming, though, to keep them from getting too big. They bush back out and look nice, with nicely colored foliage in the fall. They die to the ground in winter. Also, a couple day lilies would work there, along with a tall growing iris. Fireworks goldenrod is a fall blooming plant I love that would fit in that space. I'm not sure what zone it is. Sue D.

Hello ptilda - Annabelle is hardy to z3. She is as popular as the H paniculatas in our zone, as they are nearly carefree. I must have been the last in my area to get one ('08) ... I planted her on the N facing foundation strip, gets a few hrs of good AM sun & again an hr + of setting sun. She is about 5' tall & loaded with saucer size white balls. I encaged her, when I noticed she was growing quite fast & filling with buds (we were getting a great many rainy days that would weigh her down). The wire cage is unnoticeable with all the growth. I learned about this type of support, for fast growing Annabelle, in another thread in this forum. Dappled sun/shade site would be my choice ... sandy native soil mixed with some compost is better than clay, I think ... I'm not an expert - I think you are going to be just fine! I've noticed that several of the shrubs I purchased seemed to have been grown in a sandy-nursery-soil mixes.) Since this is going to be their first season, perhaps a thick wood chip mulch/pile of dried oak leaves won't hurt. There are several older threads wonderful to learn from in this forum! Good luck!

HAVE: sase/trade seed offer: 4 tomatoes, 3 t2t~1 hybrid +veggies
Q

clarification...3-4 *mini packs of* seeds, not just 3-4 seeds. aka 3-4 separate mini packs, of different varieties of seeds, 20+ seeds to a pack, so 4 packs would be about 80 seeds! So for one 50 sent stamp, you could get 20seeds/1pk-40seeds/2packs-60 seeds/3pks or 80 seeds/4pks. Don't need that many? Take what you need, and use the rest to trade for something you do need or share them locally. I can drive & walk now, but It'll never work as it did before. I can drive, walk & not in pain, so I'm thankful for that. So, seeds can go out ASAP, now.

Many sources list Epimedium rubrum as hardy to zone 8 or higher. Indian pink (spigelia) is a really beautiful plant I've been growing in MN for a few years now. I'm not suggesting you two should trade, just running my opinion, LOL...

Well, I lived in Alabama and the epimedium didn't grow there AND I didn't say anything about Indian pink not being a nice plant, it isn't on my list of what I want and I just I don't need any...thanks kms4me for your feedback.

Epimediums do very well for me just south of Birmingham, Alabama (zone 8a). I have grown two different varieties in dry shade for about 10 years. They are very tough plants and spread slowly. Susan

Sweet Betsy, I would be glad to trade with you. I have two epimediums (yellow, pink flowered) that do well in Alabama and other plants from your want list. Please email me through GW if interested. I couldn't find your email on your GW page hence I am writing to you here. Susan
