Thanks Victor! Interesting you mention a trellis. You got the need for that right. Don't know when the photo below was taken (from the size of the shurbs, a while after construction in 1884 obviously). Note the trellis on both sides on the front porch. Huge things.

Wonder what that big shrub was where the Heptacodium now stands.

Do not have deer problems here. A RR track, a Hwy and a salt marsh keep them under control. That corner receives sun from shortly after sunrise until noon. Been looking at muscari and minor bulbs but didn't know if Daffs would fit. They do. Good. That will fill up space. I'll investigate Clethra, Itea and g. Rozanne. Fragrance and fall color. Can't get better than that.

I should name this "Victor's Corner" because already, with the heptacodium, your suggestions dominate it. Appreciate the advice.
