Crepe Myrtle. They bloom all summer and make good shade.

They don’t grow overly large either. They bloom in a number of colors. My favorite is a deep, rich, purple, but, they also come in red, pink and white.

Or Dogwood.

Does Magnolia grow there?

[William of Barsoom]

Crepe Myrtles grow very well here, and are very common.
Magnolia does well here as well. Dogwoods, not so well.

Thanks.
