Re: Understory Plantings and Pink Potentilla

Thanks Marge for all your suggestions.  I was wondering if the Ilex opaca 
is the same as winterberry?  That certainly would be a nice possibility.  
I was thinking of the clethra; I think I want something a little taller 
than the Itea (I do have one of those and I really like it).  I do have a 
Hydrangea quercifolia which is growing in a different spot and is covered 
with blooms this year.  The area in question is subjected to the winter 
winds so that whatever I put there has to tolerate the dry shade as well 
as the winter winds.  Is there a common name for Mahonia?  I will look 
that up in Dirr (book is home-I am at work).

On a slighly different note-has anyone grown the new pink potentilla.  
Anyone know how hardy it is and what its growing characteristics are.  I 
have a white, a pale yellow and a yellow one.  Wayside carries the pink 
one.  I saw one in England several years ago and would like to get one.

Thanks,
