Re: Any colorful shade plants that last all summer?

Diane Whitehead will know the name of the thing I'm talking about.  It is a
red/green/yellow foliage. Survives well in Ontario zone 4  and grows like a
weed here in Victoria. Japanese something I think.  Will give good colour
year round in your garden.
