Great photo, Just look at the fine detail & texture. Makes me want to reach out and touch it. Thanks for sharing. S
What is Heucherella to the left of Astilbe? what is the plant in the lower left corn below the Heucherella?

Thanks! I really like this one. The plant to the left of it is Tiarella 'Iron Butterfly'. I don't have any Heucherellas yet. The leaves below the Tiarella are part of the Astilbe pictured. :)

Thanks! C.Micha - I just let it be and it just grows! I chopped a piece off for someone last summer - if you're wanting some, LMK in the spring. :) My experience with transplanting astilbes is that all the greenery dies shortly after the move and about the time you've decided it's a lost cause, you see new growth coming up. After that, it does great! That's happened with all 4 that I transplanted.

I'll try to remember! I'll have more shady plants by then too that I can share for you to add to your garden.
