Currently one of my favorite shade combos; #geraniumphaeum and #persicariapurplefantasy #coolshadecombo #shadeplants #shadegarden #shadegardening #mybackyard #mytestinglabIt’s a wet day. It makes it less of a chore to stay inside. Snails have it easy - they are great at #shelteringinplace . #snailIts seedy habit is a bit annoying, but I can’t bring myself to not grow it.
