A not so shady area , back to the drawing board ...

With this being the first week of spring ; and a beautiful sunny week it was . I had a chance to  move all the shade plants   that will no longer be in shade , but full on sun . So, the Ligularias , Brunnera and Cimifuga all were on the move …again. The dead Accacia  will not much shelter , even with the clematis I've planted to cover it.

All settled in under the bamboo . At least in moving I've made a nice pairing of Brunnera 'looking glass ' and Lamium 

The first tiny blade of Millium effusum Aureum , Bowles Golden Grass which will join my new shady group .
New seedlings of Euphorbis oblongata ; because I now need more sun lovers for the former shade area. Though I'm not sure about these, I see they like dappled shade ; so these will also join the shady bunch...

  1. Our place keeps getting shadier and shadier, thanks to our love affair with trees. Your lamium brunnera combo is brilliant.

  2. I'll miss your monster acacia but it was fun while it lasted. Hooray for more sunny space. Your garden always looks wonderful! Happy spring!

  3. Dang. I'm sorry you lost your Acacia. I hope you can find a shady replacement for it. I sure hope don't have any more severe winters like the last one. I love the Lamium and Brunnera pairing. It looks great. And your Euphorbia seedlings look really healthy.

    1. Grace I'll be won't be planting these ( Euphorbia) out in clumps , I was more careful about sowing thinly.
