I'm putting in new beds at the moment. Our site is very windy, even on a summer's day. I am looking for a small feature shrub/tree (with as much year-long interest as possible) for the edge of a bed close to the patio and house. I'm debating between Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea' and Viburnum plicatum 'Mariesii'. Which has more to offer?

The leaves on the tips of each branch of my 7-8 year old ornamental cherry look as if they've been burned.

I'm looking for Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' to plant in front of a purple Cordyline (Crocosmia 'Lucifer' behind). At what time of year are Dahlias generally available to buy from garden centres?

I'm looking for something to plant under a green Cordyline for a bit of spring/early-summer interest. There's a yellow-green Euonymus to the left of it, Hypericum Hidcote behind, spring-flowering Spirea to the right. I thought something low with a blue flower might fit in nicely. Any suggestions for what might fit the bill?
