Default Shrub ideas - south central Wisconsin

Thanks anyway, and enjoy the kousa. I know I've got one of those somewhere
in the back, if only I could find it under all this snow!

no sorry .. I only know generally about shrubs. for this you need my

mother who
knows one clethra from another. I live 6 blocks from the lake and snuck

in a kousa
dogwood which I absolutely adore .. a Kmart dogwood no less. . am

getting a couple
more named varieties and bonsai them in the back yard... heh, heh. Ingrid

Jung's in central wisconsin has plants only hardy to zone 4 in their

catalog. Ingrid

Thanks for the reply. I know Jung's very well...have one right down the
road, and have been very happy with the shrubs I have purchased there in

the
past. I didn't see anything in the catalog this year that I wanted and
didn't already have . Any ideas on the shrubs I listed?

As for the zone, In my experience, where we live is a zone warmer than

the
rest of central Wisconsin...in fact, my yard is about 2 weeks ahead of my
parent's garden in Milwaukee.
