It needs rich, moist soil in light shade, so I thought it would be perfect for me. Well, for two years it was, then it died. Kb is still doing fine. Their lilac-blue color combines perfectly with the soft pink flower spikes of Cimicifuga ramosa 'Atropurpurea' jpeg 19 Kb , that is growing next to it. This is also a late flowerer, but the large feathery leaves have a dark brown-green color, forming a contrast with the strong hosta leaves on the other side and therefore interesting throughout the season.
Autumn is also the time of the spiders.
And in October, maybe November if the weather is all right, you should plant your spring bulbs. A last view of my garden in October, looks a bit sad, don't you think, but I keep in mind that just a few months away everything starts all over again, with new possibilities for different plants and exciting flowers . A garden is never finished, it is changing all the time, and the winter is just the time to make plans for the next year. Well, I will try to keep you up to date about what's happening here, so check out the changes every now and then.
