Chris, Do you think you'll ever run out of room?

I'm trying not to order much myself because I need to sort of renovate which 
is hard to do if you keep putting more in.  I installed a 4ft wide  wooden 
walkway about 50 ft long along the south side of my house between 2 narrow 
beds about 25 years ago. It's made of landscape timbers and the plan was 
that, as a timber rots, it can easily be lifted and replaced. Well, it's time 
to lift it all and replace all. But I have to remove a lot of plants along 
the sides.

So this year, I only ordered 8 plants and only because they were on 'special' 
(I simply can't completely refrain from buying plants!)

Agastache Champagne 
Baptisia Vanilla Cream 
Clematis Andromeda 
Veronica longifolia Eveline 
Geum Blazing Sunset 
Acorus Gramineus Variegatus 
Iris Ensata Freckled Geisha 
Heuchera Marvelous Marble 

I've had the Heuchera, Geum and Acorus before.

Hi everyone,

I have some new plants for the garden this spring, and I generally have a 
good idea of where things should go.  But I'm curious what tidbits of 
knowledge some of you might have about these plants.  You know, something 
beyond the old 'moist and well-drained' line that we find in the gardening 
books.  Things like 'I found the color to be more intense with more sun', or 
'this one needed wind protection', etc.

I'd love to get some of your insights on these:

   Adonis amurensis
   Ajuga incisa 'Bikun'
   Aquilegia 'Winky Single Red-White' **
   Cacalia delphinifolia
   Caltha palustris *
   Caltha palustris var. multiplex
   Cardiandra alternifolia
   Convallaria majalis 'Aureovariegata'
   Diphylleia grayi
   Helleborus 'Golden Lotus'
   Helleborus 'Love Bug' 
   Helleborus 'Sandy Shores'
   Helleborus 'Silver Dollar'
   Heuchera 'Miracle'
   Hosta 'Bridal Falls'
   Hosta 'Curly Fries' *
   Hosta 'Emerald Charger'
   Hosta 'Fantabulous'
   Hosta 'First Blush'
   Hosta 'Maui Butterflies'
   Hosta 'Mini Skirt'
   Hosta 'Miracle Lemony'
   Hosta 'Munchkin Fire'
   Hosta 'Pocketful of Sunshine'
   Hosta 'Praying Hands' **
   Hosta 'Stained Glass' **
   Liriope 'Variegata'
   Pachysandra procumbens *
   Primula spp. *
   Tricyrtis flava *
   Trillium grandiflorum 'Plena' *

   *  I had this once and it died
   ** I have this currently and am adding more

Thanks, and I'm hoping we can get some discussions going on the list again!

Chris
