 the foliage looks really cool coming out of the wall.

I would suggest that you water them thoroughly to make them easier to remove.
Remove some of them in one location and replace with one of the newer
cultivars. There are thousands of marvelous hem cultivars and very reasonably
priced.

Do the phlox and the hems bloom at the same time?
If you want to keep the pink motif, why not try some of those with pink eyes?
If you like just the foliage, why not try the hemerocallis with variegated
leaves--H. fulva 'Kwanso Variegata' ?
I rather like orange daylilies--but not the species which is not really
orange---I think it is H. fulva. The flowers are a rather dull orange-brown.
They are lovely on roadsides where they have naturalized but I dont think they
are a very good garden plant.

I wish I had more sun so I could grow daylilies--especially the fire-engine
red ones.
Could someone tell us if there are any hems that are SOMEWHAT shade tolerant?

P.S. I don't think you can change the color. You can add acid to make
hydrangeas bluish.
