Re: [SHADEGARDENS] New to list and already feel welcom

Hi Barb,
   If you are doing well with Hosta and Ferns there is an almost endless
list of plants for your garden. I like to begin by purchasing a wildflower
guide for my state. What grows locally under similar conditions is an easy
and reliable way to successfully start. Once pleased with your attempts,
move on to other related species and hybrids.I mix local species, their
relatives and the so called exotics throughout my garden along with what is
usually referred to as perennials (all of the above are perennial).
