RE: Suggestions, please for plants

Thanks, Marilyn.  I do have two different kinds in full sun; maybe I should move them.  Do you find they lean a lot though toward the sun?  That is one of the main problems I'm having.  Even though it is a south bed, the south side is grown up and now everything is leaning toward the west.

Susan,  what about one of the dark leafed Asters like 'Prince' or 'Lady in
Black'?  They have clusters of small white flowers with a raspberry eye.
Really pretty with the burgundy leaves.  They are woodland Asters so can
take part shade just fine.

I have a bed I am really struggling with.  As things have matured and grown,
it is shadier than at first.  It gets sun most of the day, but mostly at the
end of the day.  I am able to grow some shrubs and roses but the perennials
seem to be struggling.  The colors in the bed are peach, yellow blue and
white.  I already have in the way of perennials: aconitum, cimicifuga, iris,
daylily, linaria, catmint (sunniest part), delphinium, peony, geranium and
mums.  I'm particularly looking for suggestions for mid-sized to small
perennials.  Thank you all.
