Thankyou G. for the new suggestions...

Lamium would be a good addition along with the fern, hosta, and I will look up the magic lilies to see how the color will go with the Oakleaf hydrangea...the h. morph from a nice white into a rather odd shade of rose later in the season and it's difficult to get the pinks right with it).

I did purchase some pardacanda (I think that's what it is--got it home with no label-- that really goes well with the hydrangeas and the brick on the house. Also found a couple possible ferns (eastern wood) but am still looking for 'dixie wood' here locally (since I want big ones).

Funny thing, I am getting some Spanish Hyacinths in trade, arriving today! So now I know where to put them.

Here's a pic of the Pardacanda/fern/oakleaf hydrangea combo. So far so good I think!

Happy gardening. t.
