Re: Interested In Shade Gardens

Hi Kay---Thanks for your very  informative postings. Your combinations
listing was very nice. You mention growing goatsbeard in deep shade. I tried
goatsbeard in full shade 2 years ago and the plant died. Last year a plant
did very well in an area of about 50% sun and so I thought of goatsbeard as
not suitable for full shade.  Was that a wrong conclusion?  Maybe I killed
the first one some other way.
