Re: green and white bed help

Hi, gang...

I'm planning an understory (1 bur oak, 1 shallow-rooted maple) bed and would 
like to use only green and white but with lots of texture. Ultimate height of 
any plant, I think thus far, would be 3' to preserve the view beyond. The 
bed's kidney shaped and about 30'x15'. East AM sun for about 3 hours and late 
afternoon for the same but no sun reaches the middle of the bed. I don't want 
to be a slave to the maniacal watering hose. The soil is clay with aged horse 
manure on top, iced with hard wood mulch. Z.5a-4b.

Do any fave's come to mind of anyone? Thinking some 'Fire and Ice' Hosta 
would be a nice accent...does anyone know of a source that has it for a good 
price? Any shrub/perennial combos you've liked in these colors? 

Thanks for any idea or leads.
