If you have room, have you thought of extending your foundation planting further out from the house? You could keep the Diablo where it is and add taller shrub(s)/tree to the outside. Also, Diablo's (and all ninebarks) are hardy plants. I wouldn't think anything of moving it, or chucking it and buying another. But do it while it is still dormant. The best time will be just before bud break.

Frankly, a little color contrast(i.e. other plants) with Diablo really makes it stand out.

leftwood,
you had a good suggestion, but I don't room.

I thought some pics would help.

Do you think I need a more vertical shrub or small tree on corner?
The spot is kinda small. The radius of the wall is 9 feet from house.
Maybe its fine the way it is?
