I am looking for plant suggestions. I have a brick area of a house to plant against. The area is a bit narrow-maybe 2 feet wide, and I don't want anything to grow over 3 or so feet tall. The area is bordered on one side by an under-planted area that includes some lavender and a standard rose--the oppposite end has a very pretty shrub I'd like to keep though I am not sure what it is with its large vareigated leaves. The center of the area is planted with a young (short) upright conifer of some kind.

I had thought originally of putting in 4 standard roses underplanted with nepeta--but not sure if that conifer would pose a problem. I am very open to ideas however!

Thank you!!
Tracy
