I am looking for something to plant beneath and between my echinaceas in a part sun bed (note, I'm in the South). In my Full sun bed, I have different colors of Lantana at the bottom of my echinacea and I really like that, but Lantana doesn't tolerate part sun here like my echinacea. I still want a different look to my part sun bed, anyway. I thought about Rozanne Cranesbill, but, even though I love Rozanne, I'm thinking I want something "rounder" and a little less weedy-looking.
I just want something to hide echs ugly legs, even if it is just a late summer - fall bloomer. I considered Asters, but again, part Sun and can't have something that takes up room ALL the time, like asters or mums. I do have other things growing in front: tickseed, very short geums, etc but all or spring into early summer. I need that summer - fall punch! I played with the idea of Heuchera, but really wanted something that had a bigger bloom impact like the lantana or Rozanne but maybe I should just go with greenery?
I know, a lot to take in, but I have been fretting over this for too long now. I need help! Any suggestions?
