<< Hi, Jackie,

 I have french lilacs on the north side of our house and although we are
 in Zone 5, I think they might fill the bill. Basides being deciduous,
 you'll have the added bonus of filling your home with the wonderful aroma
 of lilac in the spring!

 Your thought?

Hi all:

I grow a lilac--I recall it's a Persian lilac. Nice foliage and nice flowers.

For variegation I'd rec Fallopia japonica 'Variegata' which I guess is a sub-
shrub;or, the variegated kerria.

But for a foundation planting I'd still rec an evergreen--such as a variegated
dwarf hemlock.
