Re: bee balm
Ed, they are beautiful. Have never been able to grow Bee-Balm. Must have planted it in the wrong place. I did that a lot starting out. That is why I concentrated on Liliums. Iris, Daylilies - never seem to go wrong there. OC always did well with Hosta. Must be the soil. Coot

Re: Iris rhizomes
If there is one thing that this Old Coot named John knows it is, that you can't kill an Iris Rhizome.One year we dug some up and moved the bed. The next year we found some we had dropped some and just left them lying on the ground with nice roots coming out. WE picked them up, replanted them and th...

Re: Favorite low maintenance shade garden plants?
[Chris will Love OC for this, but I think Hosta's are the perect plant in a shade Garden. Also Arum Itallicum for stripped color and Orange Berries later on in the Summer.size=150][/size]
