Re: green and white bed help
Hi Joanie,
When you mention Hosta I can not help thinking of Carex.... great companions.
All different colors of each in the green-white range. Also sizes and forms.
I hope to bring a few samples into my garden this coming spring ... have to
complete my reading and a bit of research first, but definitely getting pointed on
Carex for the garden.
