I recieved my plants from Spring Hills this afternoon and I got to work immediately. I'm spent... but happy!
I planted:
Dwarf pink bleeding heart
Old fashioned white bleeding heart
Red coral bells
Daylilies
Forget me nots
columbine
Toad lilies
Lily of the valley
Blue hosta
All of these were shipped dormant or semi-dormant. Will any of them flower this year? Will I have to wait until next year to see something?

| Toad lilies should bloom this fall, and my bleeding hearts come out of the ground with flowers on them, as do the lilly of the valley. It will kinda depend on how well the nursery treated them. Good luck. As a note voles can be a nasty problem in many shade gardens, I learned the hard way and lost several plants to these root eating rats! I have since lifted and replanted most of my shade perrenials using perma-til(small sharp gravel) in the soil around the plants and as a under the mulch top dressing. |
