RE: Now a question for zone 4

Linda,
 I wonder if Rodgersia asculifolia would work for you?  They like damp,
boggy soil....mine resides at the edge of my deck in the corner where all
the water run off goes.  It is a large plant and would easily cover a 5'
space.  Flowers are tall, white, Astilbe-like and fragrant. Listed as hardy
to zone 3.   Google has some nice pictures.
There is also Rodgersia pinnata with the same leaves, but pink flowers.  Its
only listed to zone 6 however.

Subject: Now a question for zone 4


I want something dramatic...fairly tall like a 'Sum and Substance'
hosta, but I don't want another hosta here, maybe that would flower
after the geraniums.  I also have a bleeding heart nearby that
flowers before the geraniums.  I could fill in the depression, but I
want to take advantage of it rather than destroy it.
Any suggestions for something different for me to look at while I sit
in my swing?
