| And what height is preferred? If you are zones 2 through 7, you might consider potentilla which comes in several colors. Height is about 24" which might be taller than you want. |

| potentilla looks nice, but too tall can you think of something smaller ? I'm in zone 6 NY thanks again |

| Phlox stolonifera and daylilly Happy Returns (18") or Eeny Weenie (10-12"). |

| I think Ron 6 left without saying 'goodbye!' |
|
| He will be back. I was going to suggest liatris but I think I like the iberis better. Gotta watch the height of both of those, since different species have different heights. |
