i assume that there is iciness the place you reside. you could % for a bush-plant that still makes flora. My first advice become a small tree. yet then I converted the inches in centimeters and found out is is a touch small place. those 40 8" are stable, however the 9" are a venture for a tree, i assume. properly, i'm going to be a small one. Little flora are too clever, so i could propose a small tree or a bush,extra beneficial or smaller. It relies upon in case you prefer some shadow on those warm summer days or no longer. And there are some styles of trees that are continuously green, like the fir.

It would be helpful to know what zone or area you are in because not all plants survive all areas. There are a lot perennials to choose from. Here is a site that lists quite a few perennials and gives what zone they are hardy in. Once you find out what your zone is it will be easier to locate the appropriate plant.

If you can put the plant in full or partial sun and water it every three or four days TIGER LILIES would be a preat choice as long as you don't have any other lilies in your garden because they spread diseases from lily to lily. Though the tiger lily itself cannot get viruses very easily because they are resistent to them. It is a one to three feet tall and though are known to be red or orange they can be found in blue, white, pink, yellow, black, and other colors also.
