The front of my house receives partial shade. I am in zone 4, I have burning bushes,spireas, a dogwood, astilbes, bleeding hearts, liatris, hostas and dianthus. I am trying to keep in the pink color range. Any idea on a plant that would be good as a filler. No taller than a ft high would be ideal and quite thick. Thanks.
How about periwinkle? I know it is more lavender than pink, but it only gets about 4 in. tall and spreads well.

I've been looking around. Do any of these seem appropriate?
I love daphnes. They have the most incredible fragrance. I have Daphne 'Lawrence Crocker' which has rose-pink flowers that bloom throughout the summer off and on.
