OK, I'm going for it!
Thanks for the inspiration, Rick!
Deep Shade II
Rcn: Thanks for the photos! Re "Sparking Burgundy", http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/61931/, is it your experience it needs full sun (of which I have none) as indicated in PlantFiles?
One of our local nurseries has a buyers reward program where they give you vouchers for buying plants in July. So, yesterday, I aquired 4 new shrubs and 5 perennials. Two were more Hydrangea Limelights and one is this Leucothoe Rainbow. It's for part shade and will grow to 3' x 3'.
Forgot the photo.
Lovely.

The other is Clethra Hummingbird for part shade in the same size range. The smell of it is so devine, I don't know how I'll get the bees off to plant it.
One of the Limelights just starting to open.
Who says you can't grow Crocosmia in the shade? This is Emily McKenzie.
Beautiful, inspiring gardens, all!
I can't believe we've gotten past 200 posts already! How's about a new thread?
