NOID. Made up name
Front Bank - by the plum tree (#1)
H&T - Out in the pasture (#2), before it got moved from the Front (#3)
KK - I dug most of these up and moved them to the pasture. There are still some behind the obelisk. They keep spreading here. (#4)

Really brightens up the bank.

Front
Front Bank
Mine are much paler than other photos show - a soft pink. I did buy this as Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail', however. Persicaria has since changed to Bistorta, but the cultivar should be the same. Not sure why mine is so pale, as it is at Deb's house. Could be a mismarked 'Pink Elephant' or 'Rosea'.

2019: I had to thin these out in the front garden so the sprinkler could get past them. I moved a bunch to the front bank next to the Bishop's Weed.

Aspen
Front Bank
These do well here - even in the dry areas. I originally got a few of these from the Conservation District. They've spread, but not out of control.

So small after all these years. I'm hoping the new watering system will help it out.

Pretty variegated leaves

Aspen
Corner
Front Bank
Aspen: I'm totally letting it go in here as a ground cover. I'm going to actively try to get it to spread in the dry areas along the driveway.
Corner: I'm letting it go here as a ground cover as well. It looks nice and hides a lot of neglect.
Front Bank: 2020 - I moved some that I dug out of the rocks to under the chokecherry as a ground cover.
Rocks: This had moved in here, but I more or less have eradicated it from here. It's too busy.
