Favorite Shrub companions/groupings???
Comments (15)Picture was taken in August, so not all shrub shown in their best, but provide interest when needed. This particular mix shrub border consists of (from left to right): -Weigela 'French Lace', -Callicarpa 'Profusion', -Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple', -Sambucus 'Sutherland Gold' (in background behind hydrangea. Look great in a spring as a yellow offset for purple smokebush), -Peony (covering spring's bare spot for hibiscus), -Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore', -Spirea japonica, -another peony, -Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva', -another spirea, -Physocarpus 'Diabolo', -Caryopteris incana 'Sunshine Blue' (just young yet, but will be in a same 3-4' tall range as spireas), -another spirea (all 3 are different), -another H.paniculata 'Tardiva' and of course plenty of spring bulbs and different lilies and daylilies tucked in between shrubs. -...See MoreYour favorite group of gingers?
Comments (13)Hi Kabby, I agree with you a hundred percent. Since my first white butterfly ginger I have been in love. Quite frankly I didn't until a few years past know there were other hedychiums. then I came across H. coccineum by accident and refused to leave a distant cousins house until she promised I could dig up a clump, So I did. This year I went down to Tallahassee to see the gingersrus man and bought a really good start of a continuing collection. I do have a few curcumas and they are nice and of course those two common alpinias and another no name but nothing compares to the Hedychims for me Oh I do have some of the dancying lady's also.

Comments (23)Hi Ladies....I had an opportunity to take a look at the box last evening and let me tell you that whoever decorated the outside of the box with the Robin and the birdhouse theme really did a nice job! It is too cute! I am very impressed with all of your generous contributions to the RobinÂwhich will ultimately be passed on and shared by those of you who will be participating in the second Robin! But most of allÂI am very appreciative of the envelopes you girls enclosed which contained your favorite seeds just for me. These seeds/flowers, which I will grow in a special place in my garden next summer, will remind me of your kindness and willingness to share with meÂa stranger, but yet a fellow gardening friend to you all. Thanks so much ladiesÂyou were magnificent participators and I hope you all enjoyed the Robin. It's been my sincere pleasure to have shared with you all and coordinate the Fabulous Favorites Robin. I will be in touch when the BLUE ROBIN returns home and promises more fun to come! Hurry BLUE group! - Lisa - Lisa...See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
