I have a new bricked in flower bed that is about 15 feet wide and 3 feet deep. I am in zone 6b and the garden is in mostly full sun for the day.
So far I have two Emerald Isle Leyland Cypress (small spirals)and two Golden Euonymus to the rear of the bed. In front I have Hostas and some colorful annuals – petunias, celosia and coleus.
I still have a space to the rear (in the center) which I would like to fill in with something really eye-catching that will bring color in the spring and summer, and not die in the winter… I was thinking a Hydrangea, but I don’t think it will do well in the full sun – and the winter frost may finish it off…
Any and all suggestions will be much appreciated. And if I am on the wrong track with my mix of plants – please let me know while I still have the pots and the receipt! 
Thanks all…
Desmond
