    I have a bed that has a wire fence to the neighbors. I ordered from Spring Hill six of these spireas which seem to have bright yellow color that will also change through the season. I'm wanting a lot of color here so what would work well with similar watering needs in this space? I prefer prennial plants that will withstand winds.

    I've never heard of this one so I looked it up.
    It looks prettier than the little princess I have since the foliage is more interesting.
    this garden page I found it on has some suggestions for companions at the bottom of the page.
    I've found that purple or dark foliage usually pairs well with the lighter greens like this one.

    Thank you for the input and link, jvelo. I printed that off to take to the nursery with me. Hope I can find something to partner it with as it I want to get this in the ground today or tomorrow. Sounds like it might need something possibly behind it too... Smile

    I just bought one the other day, but if someone has one (or some) that are a few years old, would you mind posting a pic. I'd like to see what one looks like when it gets bigger. The card said 4'x6', but the website said much smaller.
    Thanks, Lea
