Rosemary, it was so beautiful outside on Sunday that I drove over to our local huge nursery and wandered thru it with paper and pencil, in your behalf. To replace the azaleas I noted: dwarf andromeda -- I have one, and it is handsome. It sits in the rock garden. Cannot remember but it might be costly..?? spreading euonymous -- green with yellow stripes certain taxus crimson pigmy barberry -- the leaves are reddish all summer, and it is evergreen, in a red sort of way ..<g> ... grows to 2 ft, is very adaptable. blue star juniper -- in my yard, they are disease free, short but very spreading. Eventually they make a solid blanket. Sun. And my hubby reminds you to try the pebble idea which worked for us, if you still want some azaleas .....
