Re: Gardens & Weather/ Azalea

Gene...it sounds so delicate and yet substantial...drooool. Does the Iris  
cristata foliage persist or die down after flowering?

Joanie,
This week I am using companion plants  emphasizing foliage beneath
and between my azalea. Heuchera and  heucherella, Hardy Geranium Elizabeth
with chocolate foliage, Lots of  ferns. Usually ferns are in 3 to seven
depending upon size. Eastern wood  fern, Goldie' wood fern, Remote fern,
Shiny Holly fern, etc. Also Chinese  mayapple and dark foliage Solomon Seal.
Foam flower is also prime along  with iris cristata. That is in this one new
bed I almost completed this  morning. Now to mulch.
In the island bed there is everything  one can think up for a
woodland edge garden, native and non-native.
