Re: Invasive Companions etc

Add dicentra and hellebores! Solomon's Seal, polomonium, and lamium, but not lamiastrum.

Hi!

Here some suggestions for the good companion plants list.

Ferns (as long as it isn4t bracken)
Bergenia
Thalictrum
Aquilegia
Spring flowering bulbs
Heuchera
Small Carexes (C. pendula can become a bit invasive though)
Pulmonaria
Ophiopogon
Liriope
Digitalis
Viola
Astilbe
Cimicifuga
Ligularia
Anemone





Underplantings:

Ajuga
Lysimachia nummularia
Lamium maculatum Cultivars (eg White Nancy)
Ranunculus ficarius


That4s all I can think of right now - if I remember more I4ll send it
through
