It's not like I've gotten a yard recently or anything.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-90025409854840474512008-06-26T17:41:00.000-07:002008-06-26T17:41:00.000-07:00It and euphorbia amygdaloides are my 2 favorite pe...It and euphorbia amygdaloides are my 2 favorite perennials for shade.

In my view, all perennials should contribute foliar interest as well as flowers, since their bloom season is so short. My horticultural background is failing me now (ouch, ouch), but I'd be willing to bet that pulmonarias and comfreys are related. I have and love many of both!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-70766363543886656162008-06-24T04:08:00.000-07:002008-06-24T04:08:00.000-07:00Love this plant, both the leaves and the flowers. ...Love this plant, both the leaves and the flowers. Used to have it. Unfortunately, so do the resident groundhogs. They eat it down to a stump until it gives up and dies. Same with the toadlilies. Boo hoo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
