Comments on: Great Foliage Matters http://northernshade.ca/2008/04/23/great-foliage-matters/ Gardening in a cold northern climate, as the trees grow, the garden is gradually transforming to a more shady woodland garden Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:53:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Northern Shade http://northernshade.ca/2008/04/23/great-foliage-matters/#comment-17 Northern Shade Tue, 29 Apr 2008 06:42:17 +0000 http://northernshade.ca/?p=71#comment-17 I enjoyed your site, gardener. Be careful those Canada geese don't make themselves at home in your water garden to raise their young. It would be hard to share a balcony with them. I enjoyed your site, gardener.

I do a lot of juggling with plant placements too, trying to find the best site. Layanee, I know what you mean about big clumps. I ended up with 3 different groupings of Brunnera 'Jack Frost'. I have one grouping of 5 with some maiden hair ferns, one group with some Campanula, and one group with some shooting stars in front of some ostrich ferns. Thanks, Joy.

Thanks for stopping by my garden and leaving a trail to yours. I love foliage combinations and your beautiful B. 'Jack Frost' reminds me that I have yet to purchase one...five! I am into big clumps these days. I'm looking forward to more of your garden combinations. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my garden and leaving a trail to yours.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I love your header picture of Jack Frost .. my favorite brunnera : ) I just bought one last year and was amazed how well it has held up with our heat and humidity here in Kingston. I have a lot of ferns as well .. also the Maiden Hair which I transplanted to a shadier spot hoping it would be happier. I have two Korean Goatsbeard now .. started with one last year and loved it .. I think if I had to stick to one garden it would be a shade garden. I love the quite cool stillness. Enjoying your site ! Thanks ! Joy Hi there !

My one blooming bulb is currently buried under a fresh layer. One of the reasons I especially enjoyed seeing your bulbs, Kerri, is that my garden is still under snow.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. Yes, it's wonderful when two plants combine well and bloom together! I looked at your garden plants page and found it very interesting and informative. I like the way you've shared both a photo and information about each plant. You have a beautiful garden! I planted Brunnera Jack Frost last summer and I'm excited to see that it's just beginning to grow. You're right...the leaves are quite a masterpiece. We're having lovely warm, sunny days, but need rain very badly. I hope you're enjoying some lovely weather for gardening too. Hello! Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment.
