"Hydrangeas and Japanese boxwood, 
Grow on each side of my garden walkway.
Foxglove and Bleeding Hearts thrive in shade, 
The evening breeze shakes the leaves.
Serene peacefulness comforts my existence
I find serenity in my garden"

its on that part
were you say your foxglove and bleeding hearts thrive in the shade

and no problem xD

Foxglove can be grown (or tolerate) both sunny/shady areas. In my State, I am able to enjoy the bloom from end of April all the way through Nov. I have a vast range of colors. They are hardy and quite easy to transplant. I have white, pink, yellow and light purple.

Bleeding hearts, the blooms peaks around Easter. My plants are planted in an ideal shady location, they are doing still wonderfully in my garden. I have white, pink and red bleeding hearts. I've posted a few photos prior. You can see them in my flower folder.

I am not sure...but I hope I answered your "wondering". That was just a silly poem I came up with...anyways yeah...

I have bleeding hearts myself in pink i always clip off each flower when they wither. It usually gives me a second bloom a week or 2 later 

I tried fox gloves myself i think my soil is to damp ( it used to be so bad you would get stuck if you stood in 1 place to long )
I could plant them each year since they never came back.
now i admire the ones my neighbours grow XD
( i can have hostas that dont get eaten by slugs and snails they cant XD )

Foxglove can be easily replanted if you simply cut the new growth from the main branch, replant. In a few months you have a new foxglove plant. So easy.

There are hundreds of remedies on how slugs/snails pest control. Just google it. No one should have to live with this problem (because this is a simple problem). Lastly, anyone can have a beautiful garden, regardless the garden size. Use the web to help you to build a beautiful garden. That's what I do!

i always try to find plants that not alot of people have

for the shady parts i bought a rodgersia the leaves start a dark red and go over into green when mature then it blooms white (leaves looks like a chestnut leaf)
i got a small chestnut tree all tho it doesn't give the actual things the leaves also start red/brown and turn green when mature and then it flowers pink one big plus is that it doesn't grow very big (1)
and instead of the hydrangea that everybody has i have the hydrangea quercifolia (2) the leave are HUGE the start green and turn a really dark red during the fall which contrast the then pink flowers ( start white) (2)
and another spieces which change color 4 times in the year ouo it starts pink then turns white when the flower is over it turns green and it dries pink again its really funny to see all year round (3)

i only have 1 bleeding heart in my lil garden its called king of heart or something (4)
and my fav clematis right now xD (5)


(1)  (2)  (3)  (4)  (5)  

sorry if i am bothering you i just love to talk about plants XD
