Re: Shade Garden Gone?

Hello Ann,
    Not all that big a thing... just curiosity. You could certainly get away
with more species than I when growing hardy cyclamen. Some of the species
are from areas having climate and soil similar to where you garden. They
certainly are lovely, even when not in bloom. Some of them have wonderful
mottled foliage that last long after the blooms are gone for the season.
Definitely one of those close-up plants that needs to be right under ones
nose to best appreciate them. I have my few species on a raised bank along a
path... not too much off of nose-level. Some are scented as well.....
