Re: Hydranga
Good morning , I have several different hosta varieties, a blue, a harvest moon, green and
white and yellow and green varigated under my poplars in my yard and they add such unique
color and texture, however they ar enot great for size as opposed to dogwoods. I have
many dogwoods and have found that although they can be in a stand of trees, they do not do
well underneath any (so far). I am curious as to what bugbane looks like and what zone
you are in, several areas of my yard are shady and I am always trying new plants to create
added interest. I will lokk forward to your reply.
