[quote=Anonymous]As much as I want a winter daphne to work in my shady north facing space, I've been given a reality check about how finicky they are. I'm looking for a low-ish evergreen (no more than 3-4 feet high) that has some bloom interest in late winter/spring since we'll have astilbes blooming in the summer. I think we're looking at camellias or azaleas. Camellias will require pruning since they can grow rather tall, but it sounds like they're slow growers and this wouldn't be difficult. Seems like both could attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The side of the house that gets part day sun will have hydrangeas, might even try a hardy gardenia. The shady front is along a porch railing and will be the evergreen shrubs and astilbes. I know this really comes down to personal preference, but given all that which would you choose (and any reason why)?[/quote]
