I would love to have a plant of your Annabelle if there is any left. I don't think I have any of the flowers you mentioned but perhaps you are interested in others? I have Irises of different shades of purple Orange daylilies Holly Hocks Echinacea (Purple Coneflower) Wild Geranium Wild Columbine Ferns of all kinds Trilliums Violets Sweet William Pink Phlox My list goes on . . . Please let me know!

I'm growing hosta, astilbe and lady's mantle from seeds I harvested from my own plants and winter sowed. Pulmonaria (lungwort) is another shade lover, as is black snakeroot, Japanese painted fern, bleeding heart, Japanese sedge grass (carex), and toad lily (tricyrtis). My full shade area is packed with all of the ones mentioned so far on this thread. Brunnera (Siberian bugloss) 'Jack Frost' is going gangbusters in that bed as well but I've never had any volunteers and I hear it's not worth trying to grow from seed. They're gorgeous plants for the shade but they're pricey at the garden nurseries. The one I have is 'Jack Frost.' Best way to get more of them is to grow one & divide it every 3-4 years. Another one that's pricey but does produce seeds is Lenten rose (Hellebore), so named because it blooms during the season of Lent, very early. It's evergreen too. I WS coral bells seeds I got in a trade but got zero germination. I may try to harvest seeds from my own plants this year and try again. I figure since coral bells were the ONLY seeds out of 44 different, new perennials I WS, I should probably try at least one more time. The hosta I WS are doing great but they're not variegated like the parent plants. That's the downside of WS hosta seeds--chances are you'll get plain green ones but they're still free plants! They take time to get any size on them--3-4 years minimum. They don't need cold stratification--I grew some last summer in a sunny window, wintered them over and they're back up again this year, albeit still small. For moist shade, turtlehead (chelone) is nice. I WS seeds and have some nice size sprouts. I WS the white since the butterflies supposedly prefer them over the pink. Don't forget hydrangea--the "hydra" part of the name is Greek for water. They want some shade too and there are gorgeous new cultivars coming out all the time. Lamium makes a nice groundcover for shady spots along with ajuga if you don't mind it spreading everywhere. Creeping myrtle seems to thrive wherever it's planted--I've got it growing in full shade, full sun and everything in between.

Northern White-Cedar or arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis). I have scored a DNR grant for deer exclosures and am re-introducing this beautiful species to my 30 acre bog-riverine-wetlands complex. There is something wonderfully human-like in the white cedar's nodding form, smooth bark, and finger-like foliage. They have a very appealing child-like blond/green-eyed personality unusual for the plant kingdom. The ojibwe Indians considered them sacred and I can see why....

i dont want to be devoid of a charming personality... but 2 is summer fragrance ... 3 is the undulata that greens up ... as noted 4 is an old walters plant.. that i cant recall the name of .. or something something albomarginata ... look up 'Fortunei Albomarginata' .. it only has a dozen other names.. probably walters gave it one of those .. like 1.. is that coloration current .. or early season??? old pic or new pic??? 5.. yeah.. NBC.. or a young undulata.. looking like NBC ... your plants are a bit young .. which complicates ID .. keep trying as the years roll by ... its hard to compare a decade old plant at the library.. with a young plant in your yard ... ken
