Experience with these plants?


I'm thinking of purchasing some more trees, shrubs, and groundcovers
for the yard (when am I NOT thinking of that :), so I thought I'd run
my ideas by the list and see if anyone has any input.  I'm in USDA
zone 5b, E. Central Illinois -- hot dry summers and cold winters
with little snowcover.  I have a wooded area in back, mostly older
spruces, firs, and pine trees.  The front of the house is in full sun.
Irrigation is an option.

   Dirca palustris               I asked about this a while back, but
                                 thought I'd run it by everyone once
                                 again.

   Parrotia persica 'Pendula'    As I understand it, there are good and
                                 bad plants out under this label.  Anyone
                                 have experience with these?

   Weigela maximowiczii         

   Salix x grahamii 'Moorei'     Looking for dwarf groundcover willows.
                                 Any other recommendations?
   Salix hylomatica

   Pterostyrax hispida           Already have, but looking for comments


Thanks in advance for any input...

Chris
