What is a good flower bush that only grows about 2 feet tall?

I am wanting to outline my driveway with a Colorado Blue spruce then a flower bush then a solar spot light then another flower bush then another colorado blue spruce and keep repaeting that on both sides. So I wanted to know a pretty flowering bush that at most grows to 2 foot tall, I prefer 1' -1 1/2 foot , that goes great with a colorado blue spruce.

If the area is in the shade of the trees, then Skimmia, or Azalea would be a good choice.

For sun areas Spirea, Viburnum, Weigela, Genista, Heather, Daphne, Leucothoe, Pieris, Potentilla, Rock Rose, and Shrub Rose.

Most shrubs don't bloom for very long. It is best to pick an evergreen shrub, if it is to be on "display" on your driveway.

Give it plenty of room away from your Blue Spruce, because the tree roots will take over and kill the shrubs when they are larger. The shrubs can be maintained to the desired height by pruning.
Reply:azaleas are quite nice.... mini rhododendrons are also nice.... depending on where you live,... hydrangea is reallly nice tooo
Reply:Peony bush but the flowering doesn't last long. I used to line my sidewalk with marigolds. They bloom from spring to first frost, you could plant them in a small circle, they get 1 ft tall or more sometimes. They also come in assorted color choices. You would have to replant every year, but they go to seed in late summer and I used to pick the seed heads off %26amp; saved them in a paper sack till the next year.
