Looking for plant suggestions
in Plants
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.

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.
