So this is last year's first attempt to plant shade to partial shade perennials in my garden next to my patio - I HATE PLANTING IN BARK! Some of the plants got scorched while I was on vacation, but....
As you can see they are all back this year, with exception to the Fern, which, I don't know if the morning sun could have survived...I removed the bark, filled in a few more spots with new plants :) and am taking a go with Impatiens... I also bought a Hydrangea after much debate over a Shade Shrub... I soooo hope it lives and thrives!
- Note to readers... Always think about the view of your garden... I will mostly view this garden from the side of my Patio - the way the picture was taken... So The plants are planted with that in mind. The front view was also important to me, but the side view had to compliment the patio.
I am very excited with this new discovery! TRUE BLUE!!! Like I mentioned before I LOVE BLUE FLOWERS!! (dont we all) - And so with the new additions of Forget Me Nots in the shade garden, I am in HEAVEN!
This was taken before the whole transformation.... And I have to say thanks to Heather! I am loving the Coral Bells, and they seem to be doing wonderfully - I can't wait for next year when they are really filling in - Isn't that every gardener's thought - next year this is going to look GOOOD!!
