Just from my own personal knowledge... not an expert. Hydrangeas are a shade plant so if it's a shady side of the house then go for it. If not... they won't like it there. If it's a fairly sunny or part sun part shade spot Roses might do well. thesmallonerae wrote on May 3rd, 2011 at 02:24 pm
What to plant OK..
I live in Zone 4a I have a 5' by 16' strip alone the north side of my house between the house and the sidewalk/retaining wall (my yard is above the sidewalk) Rhododendrons in my personal experience are VERY fussy. I like in zone 6a and can not seem to get the to grow.
That being said.... I could come up with LOTS of other ideas if I knew a little more about the area you are discussing. How much sunlight does it get? What's the soil like there? How much moisture does the area get? Is this a humid or arrid climate?
