Side shade garden: 1 year update

New glass art

Now that summer is officially over, it's time to catch up on a few areas around the yard. Just over a year ago, this border on the north side of our house was grass and weeds when I decided it was the perfect place to put a few shade plants

I planted bushes last September and have been adding more plants through the year. It adds up to a lot more plants than I thought!
  • 1 Anemone 'Fantasy Red Riding Hood'
  • 2 Anemone x hybrida 'Lucky Charm'
  • 1 Fuchsia 'Logan Gardens'
  • 1 Fuchsia 'Exmoore Woods'
  • 3 Aster novi-belgii 'New York'
  • 1 Satureja douglasii 'Yerba Buena'
  • 1 Helleborus x hybridus 'Black Diamond'
  • 1 Helleborus x ballardiae Gold Collection 'Maestro'
  • 3 polystichum munitum - more sword ferns
  • 3 myosotis sylvatica 'Bluesylva' - forget-me-nots
Anemone 'Lucky Charm'

Plus, grown from seed:
  • Forget-me-not, Victoria indigo blue
  • Hollyhocks, single and double mix
Hollyhocks, first year blooms

I think that's it for new plants for now, until I can see how they will all grow in. But, there is always temptation....

Sword fern growing nicely

Fuchsia 'Genii'
