Well, I have a border on the side of the house, out front, that is 3' deep by 12'-13' long. The height of the shrubs could be 5'-6', just to the bottom of the windows, but I think that most Vs are wider than tall? I have pretty good clay soil, southern exposure, in the shade of a huge spruce tree, next to a downspout, and I don't want to water a lot. (Naturally, I will water to establish, but don't want pampered pet shrubs). I was debating between hydrangea quercifolia (and what specific cultivar??) and a viburnum or three.

p.s. I have basically a clean slate planned for this area, including, possibly, new edging. We were planning to put squarish fieldstones in place of the flagstones.
