And the drive out to Sauvie is just part of the whole experience of getting away and checking out exotic plants in a gorgeous setting.

My European ginger (and native) are more aggressive than I would prefer, always showing up where I don't want them — like in the middle of Hakonechloa. Ugh.

I joined a friend last Saturday on such a shopping adventure, and had as much fun as if I was the one spending the money... <br />Love that Epimedium wushanense 'Sandy Claws', and Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun' is on my want list as well. Limbing a mature tree clears up so much space below, it's a great opportunity for more cramscaping.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.com
