Shade Garden - it's growing!

[conniepr]

My shade garden grows bigger each year. This year, I joined the two sections (one north and one south of the mountain ash tree). The bleeding hearts grow bigger each year and I've had to remove other plants because the B.H. branches are covering them. But they're so beautiful. I've decided to let them take over that side of the garden and have Spanish Moss grow underneath.

I put a frame around the base of this bleeding heart this year, attempting to corral it, but I can see now, I'm going to have to move out the new Freckles violet I bought this year.

...and I've decided to move this purple ligularia out this year. It's just too pretty to hide behind the B.H.'s. It gets about 3 feet high! (you can see it between the two bleeding hearts, only about 6-8" high yet)

Mmmm love your shade garden! Of course, bleeding hearts are one of my favorites!
