Hi outreach9!
So glad you are joining us.
I have lost a lot of shade in recent years, much of my yard is now sunny, so I only have one hydrangea. Oops, I just bought one off a sale rack that has not been planted yet. It called my name because of the fiery red fall foliage- (it is called 'Tuff Stuff'). But I have lots of unusual shade plants. I have 2 Himalayan Blue Poppies on the east side of my house, this year I put up some shade cloth for them, even half day sun was too much. But now they did not get enough sun to flower. Probably I should move them...
Anyway nice to meet you, and I would hope to see you in person at the spring get together.
