Stormy, I'm not sure that 'My Love' will sucker? C. plumbaginoides definitely suckers but 'My Love' is a hybrid of C. willmottianum and this one is usually more shrub like, albeit more of a groundcover shrub, if that makes any sense! LOL

I know what the tag might say for 'Metallic Mist' but I wouldn't trust it :( Heck, even Terra Nova's site (Dan Heims bred this beauty) only lists it as hardy to Zone 7!

Now you're really testing my 'menopausal memory'! Actually had to check my records and I'm pretty sure the conifer in the picture is Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' http://www.soonerplantfarm.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.p... If I had had 'Degroot's Spire' at the time I would have planted that one because I like its almost twisted habit much better and it won't grow as tall. http://www.richsfoxwillowpines.com/Web Albums/Foxwillow Pine... I'm hoping these will eventually grow together and form a 'wall' along this path as a back drop for the roses planted on the other side. This is what it looked like two years ago (fall of '06) before I started planting everything else. I love being able to look back and see how much everything has grown :)
