mini hosta

Hi Marge!

Thanks for your suggestion: planting ferns in my new garden of miniature
hosta. Now why didn't I think of ferns! They certainly will add leaf
texture variety. Small- and medium-sized varieties probably will work
best. Any suggestions from you and other members of the list?

I'm considering astilbies, to add blooms and leaf color. Maybe plant
several in one group. Again, small to medium growers.

What do you think of including heuchera (coralbells)? These also would
add texture and color (again, a few at certain spots for variety). Also,
I'm considering planting this fall iris, daffodils and tulips (all
miniatures) for early spring color.

The mini-hosta garden is about 4x12 feet, running north-south. The south
part gets a few hours of full sun in late morning/mid-afternoon. The
plot is against a west wall of the house, so it's somewhat sheltered.

The rate I'm planting in my mind, the mini-hosta garden will be lost
among the other miniatures. But I need something(s) to add variety in a
bed that already has a good variety of small hosta.

Good growing to you all!
