Your white garden and new fence look beautiful. I heartily recommend goatsbeard (aruncus dioicus) as a white garden plant, which would work beautifully back near the fence. It is particularly lovely at twilight when it seems to glow. It does well in a sun/shade mix, is a perennial, and is native to our part of the world.
I’ll have to check out aruncus dioicus to accompany the astilbe plugs that we just planted. A big factor for all plants in that area is their juglone tolerance. We have an obnoxious black walnut that teams up with an equally large red oak to dominate the space.

Oh crumb, about the only thing that will do well under a black walnut are bark chips!
The fence looks great.
Thank you Beth! We're pretty pleased with it.
