Re: [SHADEGARDENS] Intro

Hello Ginny,
    I had forgotten the jewels know as Louisiana Iris. Yes, those would
also be a must in moisture loving Iris species and hybrids. Also I.
virginica. I. I. fulva with its copper colored blossoms, there are many
others.
     There are lilies for shade, Ginny. The martagons and their hybrids
are, of course, and obvious first. L. superbum, the Turks Cap lily is
another for the edge of the woods situation. L. formosanum is another good
candidate.
     The hybrids sold for full sun actually will hold their bloom color
better if placed in a bit of afternoon shade. I have grown the aruleans and
orientals in part shade with success.
