Plants that like to be sprayed

14 years ago

Anybody have a list of plants (zone 7) that enjoy having their foliage sprayed on a regular basis? I am looking for something to plant along the border of my lawn and it will be watered by sprinkler over-spray. Mostly wanting shrubs, but all suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!

Anything from a climate with rainy summers like those occurring in eastern North America and eastern Asia. If the area has puddling (is damp rather than moist but well-drained), wetland species like redtwig dogwood and summersweet may be good choices.
