What colors are you looking for, Neal? Most of the Japanese or Anemone type stand up well, all colors from white to chocolate reddish brown. Actually love all of the corals, Coral Sunset is a fav that stands up well. And the cactus dahlia bloom type are unique looking--smaller blooms than most popular peonies but tons of them and no staking required. They also make a large shrub fairly quickly, Raspberry Rumba and Pink Spritzer are two that jump to mind. Are you looking for scent, too?
