Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

@philstalder everyone who sees them asks what "those arching things are." They are very striking...

@cindi47 I know EXACTLY how that feels. But this particular plant is incredible. This photo is of an extra piece I slung down the hill 5 years ago, expecting it to become compost. It cheerfully took root and is now the first to bloom every year LOL. There's the advantage of raising plants native to your area. They just settle right in...
