I live in Southern Calif,bordeline zones 22/23, according to the Sunset Western garden book. I have a sunny area that gets lots of water,due to flooding in the winter.I can control the watering in the Summer though.I'd like some cottage plants-blues,whites, and pinks.The area is about 3' deep and approx. 12' long. Right now i have a planting of 2 Iceberg roses, mixed with some Lavenders, Dianthus, and Delphiniums, but need more plants to fill the area. Any suggestions? The plants shouldn't get more than 2'-3' tall. Thanks!
