I do love epimediums, but they struggle at my house.  They may be a little delicate for our summer weather here.  Also looking for something a little more substantial, without getting too big. I figure I have a 2 foot width to work with, and if it is a bit wider it’s ok, it can drape over the wall some.  Definitely want a perennial or small shrub.
