Re: bee balm

Ed, :eek: :eek: :eek: 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: 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] :) :) :)
