| Hi Drakens, You could try Coppertina Ninebark - it's a shrub that can grow pretty large but I have a Diablo Ninebark that takes to being pruned quite happily. Carex buchananii is a copper coloured grass, says zone 6 but you might be ok in zone 5. There are some new heucheras like Caramel and Marmalade that might fit the bill. Good luck! |
