This is the second year for my rock garden. It is a very dry environment under a silver maple.... lots of roots! Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Gold Heart! loves it. Hosta 'Rainbow's End' is also very strong. This Dodecatheon media 'Aphrodite' put up one flower stalk with lovely tiny flowers and I have great hopes for the others. Festuca glauca 'Beyond Blue' is coming along.
