Do they prefer sun, partial shade or shade?

I had three acuba plants – 5feet high – but two died off – maybe from frost? So the very shady front of the house looks like it’s missing teeth. Two big blank spots and then one acuba.

It’s Light grey house with a lot of azalea to the side – I’m looking for something that might give darker year-round color, that starts around 18-24″ and can handle lotta shade and clay soil (it stays dry generally – not soggy). Also something that isn’t shaggy but fills out the space. Thank you so much!

The area is mostly sunny. Do you have a better suggestion of a mid-size tree?

I would like to find a compact perennial that will add color or bloom during the colder months for our neighborhood entrance garden. Do you carry dwarf asters or mongolian stonecrop? Or have another suggestion? Must be a perennial. I shop at the Harpers Ferry WV location.
Thank you.
Karen

I have Otto Luken laurels in semi-shade. They have died on me. I’m seeking to replace them with colorful and nearly maintenance-free shrubs. The laurels are 36+ inches high, and because of the landscape design, I have to replace with plants that are at least 18 to 24 inches high and fairly fast growing. What do you suggest?
Lois

Any suggestions on how to prune barberry plants without being a pin cushion

However, the deer may be a problem. I have had them decimate this plant unless protected with deer repellent.
