I have a flower bed in front of my house that faces east. I get good early morning sun, but some of it is filtered by a big cottonwood tree. It's shade in the afternoon. I can get things to grow, but not thrive in the bed. It does not drain very well, but we don't get all that much rain, either. I have tried roses and some different shrubs, but nothing works! I would like to try hydrangeas this year, but I'm worried that they will stay small and puny. Is it the shade, drainage, or soil quality? Please help! The front of my house is naked!!!
