With the flowers coming later, you'd give the area some interest when the lilac and smoke bush are done. Or since Carol mentioned Viburnum - there's one that turns red in fall - Cranberry viburnum, maybe?

In general, mine do well with average moisture, I don't give them any extra water, they just get what falls from the sky! What size shrub do you want to end up with? You can get all sizes of Viburnums. But every garden should have at least one Viburnum! There are soooooo many Viburnums.

I think for bigger shrubs, you can't go wrong with a viburnum. Kathy… I think for bigger shrubs, you can’t go wrong with a viburnum.
