Hi everyone,
I'm looking for suggestions for what to plant in the big gap between the azalea bushes in front of my house. (see picture)
I am in New Jersey. Zone 5. House faces south. Partial shade.
Id like a blue spruce, but the ones I've seen grow too tall. I need some thing that won't grow higher than five or 6 feet, but will thicken into the space. It could also be more than one bush. I like pineneedles because I think they would contrast nicely with the azaleas, but I'm open to other suggestions.
Thanks,
Dave

Look up globular blue spruce. Globosa is one.

Mini lace leaf maple. The tree in the pic is 30 years old and quite a show in fall. Interest all year long even when all leaves fall the crooked trunks are interesting.


Or something that flowers there are many sizes of hydrangeas and colors azaleas, holly ,golden Euonymus .

Blue spruce are beautiful and weeping blue atlas.

Thank you for those great suggestions.

Thank you for those great suggestions.

I would leave that space as is yet run a dragon's breathe to cover the ground. It will bring the other shrubs alive and give them a place to grow. Just my thoughts...
