New England encompasses a fair amount of territory with some pretty divergent growing conditions. Without a more specific location, I'd suggest you visit your local independent garden center (not a box store) and see what they offer. The options are endless - dwarf rhododendrons or mt. laurel, hardy azaleas, pieris, abelia, spiraea, dwarf ninebark, potentilla, diervilla, euonymus, viburnums, dwarf conifers, hydrangeas, hollies...........

What is your zone?

Im in southern Mass, i need some help organizing the plants ive checked a few nurseries but i dont know how to design it. Thanks again
