Other shade plants at the base of the Willow are also benefiting from the pruning and seem quite happy by the end of September!
From the top, clockwise: Chinese Wild Ginger (Asarum splendens), Fragrant Lady's Tresses in bloom (Spiranthes cernua var. odorata) with the golden foliage of Corydalis 'Berry Exciting'. In the background you can barely see the red berries of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) which normally doesn't do well in our heat and humidity. We're testing the plant in this area because it's the "coolest" spot we have in the gardens and it seems to have adjusted well! We'll be adding more photos of the gardens as our work continues in 2009 and hope you'll return to see our progress!
Thank you for visiting Our Landscape Gallery!
