Hi, I am looking for suggestions for a shrub that I can grow against a south facing fence. The garden is quite small, but I have a number if shrubs down the length and am looking to fill a gap between two ceanothus plants. I am looking for something that will grow to a height of about 8', preferably native and attract wildlife. Any suggestions.

...you might like this one, it's Sambucus plumosa Aurea, a form of Elder. I think the leaf colour would contrast with your blue flowering Ceanothus, and this plant will grow just about anywhere... Red berries too... and fine foliage. Deciduous...

Or Pysocarpus Diablo. The purple leaves would look beautiful with the Blue flowers of the Ceanothus.
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
yes even brown looks good i saw some of it and it looks good..
Hi Verdun. I do like the Physocarpus but I think I prefer the colour of Sambucus or the dark leaved Hazels.

Buddleia will attract butterflies and will get to 8'.
Gooseberry can also get to 8' and will attract birds and give you a pie.
