Some idea Please
by hosta crazy » Jul 06, 2008 9:55 pm
Made some wood chips today from some trees that we had cut down. Now I need some ideas please! I'm cleaning up the rest of the section where we cut down some trees and I'm going to make a woodland garden.
Any suggestions on some plants other then HOSTA's to put in this woodland garden.
Zone 4 is where I am!
Area- is part sun/part shade

Ferns, ligularia, shooting stars, native shrubs, astilbe. There are numerous plants you could put in a space like that. Lucky you!

How about bleeding heart, trillium, and lily of the valley?

Columbines, aruncus, heuchera (sp?), ferns, vinca.
Tiny urban garden, protected by attack cat named Smack. Beware of cat.

Cimicifuga (Bugbane, Black Snakeroot)

Starting with the back border is helpful.
I think Cimicifuga is the cadillac of woodland garden perennials. Don't they look good planted with a dark forest area behind them, so their flowers show up?
Also, check out Fleeceflower, it's as tall and wide as a bush, even in part shade!
