| I need some ideas on what to plant behind Astibes. It should be something taller than Astibe and part shade and have flowers.

| My friend has Hydrangeas and Azaleas behind her plants. It looks great. |

| Definitely a shurub, I think. Unless this is a perennial-only garden. Clethra makes a nice native shrub choice for part shade. Otherwise, you need tall wildflowers. Aconitum napellus if you dare...it is very poisonous but looks great in late summer. |

| thalictrum. Esp if astilbe is real tall, like ostrich plume or ....can't remember the other one.... But it really depends on the astilbe....some are only a foot high and have bronze foliage....the gold hakone grasses are gorgeous with those; so is trollius gold queen; some have red foliage, some are 3 feet tall....no one size fits all. |
