If you head to the left after walking under the arbor, I planted Hostas 'June' and 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' along the path. Dicentra 'Gold Heart' is planted in the corner with Hardy Begonia on either side. I had used this combination in one other area of the gardens and it works great because the Begonia comes up late and once the Dicentra goes dormant by midsummer, the Begonias have grown tall and cover the empty space :) This is also where the second Clematis was planted - a large white flowering 'John Huxtable' which blooms later in the season. I'll train it to climb up the trunk of the weeping Atlas Cedar which has been suffering for the past several years. If it finally fails and has to be cut down I'll just have to buy a new 'art object' for it to climb on!
