In a bed that small you need to make sure that whatever shrub you plant that it is a dwarf. You don't want to overpower the bed. Zinnias are a summer annual, so you won't get color all season long. I can't think of anything that you would give color all season long. You have to plant various things that will give color at different times. Some for spring, some for summer, some for fall, foliage plants or evergreen shrubs for winter. |

You might try contacting your local Ag center. They could better recommend what grows best in your climate. |

While I was trying to find you some good shrubs, I stumbled on this site. I didn't know that they now have a dwarf butterfly bush! Here's the site: http://www.colorchoiceplants.com/ Take out any spaces in the address or just type that into your google search. You can read about them and see what you think. They have some really neat plants. |
