Hello Gene,
Now I know I have to come see your garden in the spring! Give us a holler when
these things start blooming!

> Hello Gale,
> All of the plants you mention here were companions to each other in a

> blooming redbud about halfway up the length. Has a spread of about 20 to 25
> feet now. Since the bed has a path on two sides, it gets viewed "in the
> round" so to speak. I saved some special hellebore hybrids for this bed. The
> ones with red and white blooms. Also used quite a few primula in the bed.
> Several forms of P. veris, including a double. There is also some epimedium
> in red, some tall upright ferns, trillium and hepatica. Oh, and as one comes
> down some steps on the back side of the bed, there is a hypertufa trough
> that now needs to be planted in minis.
> I still have not had an opportunity to collect most of the more common,
> much less jump into all the more rare epimedium out there now. I do have
> several cultivars of hardy cyclamen on order now for spring deliver while
> they are dormant. Nice little ridge under some pines that has halfway decent
> soil that I think would look great with ferns and cyclamen, hepatica.
