I think the cooler temps compared to SoCal is a key to their thriving .. yes this campanula is my favorite .. I have "Waterfall" in the front and ally way but it gets rather gangly, not as neat as this one.<br /><br />Hello Snowbird and thank you ;-) I have some amazing self seeders that surprise me because they appear as if my magic ?

I saw that one in the PNW--very fetching. The non-climbing type all might need more chill than SoCal can provide, but they are thriving in your climate. <br /><br />Your side yard looks wonderful--soothing and cool on a hot day with the blues and pure, fresh greens. A particularly pretty Campanula.Hoover Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083294821646284424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-82836685050639111892021-06-16T09:40:46.328-04:002021-06-16T09:40:46.328-04:00Hi Beth and thank you !

Yes .. were are switching gears into summer so plants are changing eventually.<br /><br />Hello Phillip and thank you ! .. yes it is a camapanula , I can't remember the exact cultivar but it is my favorite.<br /><br />Thanks Lisa girl .. funny , a lot of times I don't think of the colour as a grouping more of a "I like THAT !" type of moment ? haha I am so looking forward to what Jack is going to do, I just hope it stays happy where it is. Yes ! I have more ferns that have done that and I have no idea how they do that ! Lady's Mantle is doing it to so another bonus ;-)<br /><br />Hello Nadezda and thank you ! Yes blue really stands out doesn't it ? and it is a campanula I can't remember what kind but it is my favorite. I like how you worded my "road" of plants! Thanks ! ;-)<br /><br />Thank you Jason ! I am waiting for Jack to do his thing .. I think I have another one tucked in there too. That bush clematis doesn't seem to be picky at all .. it has gone through some dry periods and some wet ones too and it doesn't seem to be affected one way or another. I am zone 5b here .. so no problem with harsh winters. You should be fine with it !<br /><br />Hi Kris, I completely understand that your conditions there are not reliable for shade plants on the whole. However you have a spectacular garden ! truly a gem so that is the route your plants take and thrive in. Yes .. clematis can be tricky but if you can keep your eye on this one for watering, I think it would look gorgeous in your garden.CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-29809289234059328502021-06-16T00:10:36.804-04:002021-06-16T00:10:36.804-04:00I adore shade plants and I'd love to be able t...I adore shade plants and I'd love to be able to grow any of the lovely specimens shown in your first shot. My former tiny garden was almost entirely in shade but my current larger one has relatively little to offer and our increasingly dry conditions have made it difficult to find plants to fit the spots I have. I've killed more ferns than I can count. The bush clematis are very appealing - I've failed with all but one Clematis thus far but I'd like to see if I can make the bush type happy. It's water requirements will be the chief difficulty :(Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-33558360517868671932021-06-15T19:09:39.468-04:002021-06-15T19:09:39.468-04:00Your garden looks great as always.

I like it when they turn red with ripe fruits. I definitely want to incorporate that blue bush clematis into one of my beds!

I remember your garden path along the house, it was shady with some flowers. Now it's a wonderful road full of interesting plants.

Love all the colors and forms. Jack-in-the-pulpit is a wonderful early spring/summer plant. When it matures and starts making those big lovely seeds you will fall in love with it. A fern self seeding anyplace is fantastic but this in the crack of your walk is outstanding. What a treasure.
