Ive not planted the area in back between the hostas and chamycypress nook. just never got to it. just a little further to the right direction, out of the picture is filling in very gradually with actea racemosa, tall astilbe which are somewhat dry tolerant, more ground covers, and ephemerals. This “hillside walkway” garden is the focus of the garden in spring when rhodies and azaleas, jacobs ladder snd brunnera etc. are blooming. The srea we re discussiing is at the very end and theres no doubt my interest

and energy have flagged by that point.

Eye candy mid may

bouncing back to the spot in question at the low energy end
