Grampapa, We do have a 2 1/2 acres, but I would love to have some of it under a lake. The buddleia alternifolia can be kept at 5' just by pruning. I can't find a good picture, but it is the plant behind the oak leaf hydrangea on the right side of this picture. My favorite new shrubby plant is the Pink Bush Clover Lespedeza thunbergii 'Gilbraltar' which gets cut to the ground each year and is rather plain during the summer, but explodes in the Sept. with amazing color. There is a white, which I have ordered. I hope you are having a great day. I got all my roses planted as well as some new shrubs. I can't wait to follow your garden as it grows. You now have some great form to work with. Patti
