Leopard plant is a "MUST HAVE" for the shade garden. You control the gold spots by the amount of light you give the plant. On left is dark shade; on right several hours of sun (too much). Either way, you get beautiful daisy-type flowers in the fall!

Left: Toad lilies (Tricyrtis "Miyazaki")are great for fall color in the shade. Right: Colocasia "Black Stem" makes a bold statement in partial shade.

JUNE-JULY 2001

Updated 7-11-01

Hydrangea paniculata �Pink Diamond� is a late bloomer that is more sun tolerant than many hydrangeas.The bloom is similar to an oakleaf hydrangea and a lacecap.(By the way, it is still beautiful on October 16. The blooms have aged to a brownish-pink.)

Updated 5-21-01

The hydrangeas are in full bloom. We have several different types of bloom-lacecap ("BlueBird"), curly mophead ("Ayesha"), shades of purple, white mophead, 'red' mophead, and oakleaf hydrangea.
