Is it ok to pick the community's brain for recommendations? I'm looking for a perennial, probably a shrub but not necessarily.
Criteria:
Zone 8, morning sun, space for plant about 4x4(could have wider spread), showy, blossoms in mid to late summer.
Color preference: not white or yellow, but everything else is fine. Have any ideas? Or even a direction to start me looking? Thank you.

I bet one of the summer blooming Hydrangea species would fit the bill. Take a look at H. macrophylla, H. arborescens, H. paniculata, and H. quercifolia selections. There are many dwarfer clones available that should fit in your spot.

Things are hazy hot and humid - and drying out. Otherwise, just peachy!
