The hostas are HUGE! I put them in that area where I’ll be planting them in the ‘old’ front of the house, but I have to get more peat moss first - I’m almost out. I am in the process of cleaning out that area of all the junk I have there. I’ve already emailed you about the BBQ, and I’ll move the other stuff as well. I have to sweep up some glass that the painter didn’t get when he replaced a couple of window panes for us. And I have to pick up all the dead branches I cut off the the border evergreens (do you know what they are?). Wish I could pull them out, but OUCH - that would be tough. I’ll just keep them trimmed way back.
In the spring, I’ll look for trillium (I don’t think you’re supposed to take them from the wild are you?), or I’ll buy some - maybe 6 will do. A couple other plants - May Apples (we have alot) and the Canadian sunflowers. There’s ajuga there already, and lily of the valley ground cover. Wish I could afford lady slippers, but they are SO expensive when I’ve seen them - and the deer absolutely crave them, so I guess not. Maybe a couple jack in the pulpits would be nice, and of course some ferns (I have Japanese already growing in my planters, and I’ll be moving them into that space in about a week and replacing them with mums in the planters. A toad lily would look good there. Yippee.
BTW, the bush I have with the variagated yellow and green leaf near the split rail fence, in the corner near the road??? That’s a French Lace Weigela - 4-5′ tall and wide, so it’ll get to be a good size. It blooms frequently - in spring and now. It tends to calm down in July, early Aug. I got it at Herzog’s a year ago.
The plants under the sasafras trees ARE agastache, like you said - you’re SO smart. The plant between the barn and the road, behind the lone cherry tree that resembles a mt. laurel is called Enkianthus - Showy Lantern (no wonder I couldn’t remember its name!).
