RE: Shade Perennials

So Gene, does some of that Tellima need a good home?? ;)


Chris, I'll be looking for Forest Frost
I do have one thing that seems to thrive in the dry part shade - Greek Foxglove was the name I was given it when I got it from a fellow gardener. It a tall flowering stalk with smallish yellow to tan flowers. The one or two plants have become many and shared around widely.

Chris,
	H. Dale's Variety has been a good performer for me over the years.
Never the same twice... always changing in color. Tellima remains in my
garden without fanfare... I carried it in the inventory once and could not
give it away. I have not seen Forest Frost, so will reserve judgment there.
with all the emphasis on heuchera and its forms, kind of hard to get a
gardener to think about tellima. Market is already far too crowded with
heuchera.
	You are correct in that tellima performs like a champ in a very
neglected and dry spot in the garden.

Hear, hear!  I really like Heuchera americana 'Dale's Variety' [1]
and let's not forget Tellima grandiflora[2]!  Fringe cups have always
done well for me in dry shade, and I especially like the cultivar
'Forest Frost' [3].
