Re: Yellow Perennials/Woodies

The yellow azaleas you saw were probably Exbury Hybrids.  If you can't find
them locally, I think Wayside Gardens has them in their catalog.  

I guess the area in question is in shade since Rhododendrons were growing
there.  Is it part shade?  For full sun to part shade have you considered
Hypericum prolificum. Shrubby St. Johnswort?   It is the woody form of St.
Johnswort and has bright yellow flowers all summer long.  Grows 1 to 4 feet
high and wide and has dense, attractive foliage.  It has exfoliating bark that
looks good in winter.  I think it is a standout.

Another yellow bloomer for part shade is Kerria japonica, Japanese Kerria.
Very showy in bloom in April and May.  But it isn't particularly outstanding
the rest of the year.    --Janis
