| Our house faces north and theres an overhang of 4 or 5 feet. We get some morning sun. I am in zone 3. Anything that I have planted seems to be reaching for the sun. I have pulled out a couple of shrubs as they are so spindly from lack of sun. Right now I have only 1 shrub left and its a silver leafed dogwood, it did really well for a number of years but now it to is pretty dog eared looking. I have just painted my doors , shutters and trim of my house and it looks pretty bare without any shrubs or greenery. I am hoping sommmeone out there can give me some advice. Thank you. garden4u |

| What size should it be? Will it not get rain if there is a 4-5ft overhang? What is the application? Is it really the front of your house and will be used as a fondation? You could use a Canadian Yew for the backdrop to give structure and winter interest and then Annabelle Hydrangea for flowers during the summer. |
