Haha, actually the astilbe is for next to my primulas. I do mostly shade because of the huge oak trees we have. I just thought I'd try growing my own babies. I do think most of the plants I picked will do well for the areas I have, I'm just unsure on getting them from seeds to plants.

Platycodon grandiflorus 'Fairy Snow' - dry part-shade bed beneath oak
Astilbe chinensis 'Pumila' - next to primulas
Aquilegia flabellata var. pumila - dry part-shade bed beneath oak
Amsonia tabernaemontana var. salicifolia - sunny bed beneath lilac
Iberis gibraltarica sunny bed beneath lilac
Astrantia major 'Primadonna' - sidewalk border in front of oak and pine tree
Aquilegia 'Crimson Star' - sidewalk border in front of oak and pine tree
Allium christophii - maple tree ring next to street

And hi =) Here's a pic of the maple tree ring I'm going to re-work, but the sidewalk border is in the background to the right. They all get strong afternoon sun, since the sun sets across the street and there's nothing to block it. I also don't water the front areas like I do my hostas in the back.
