Gentians have a reputation for
being difficult, but there are a few species that are relatively easy in
rich, well drained soils that don’t dry out.
Gentiana dahurica
is probably the easiest and we’ve had success even in less than
ideal conditions. It has dark blue, funnel shaped flowers in clusters
above a central rosette of dark green, strap-like leaves. |

Perennials with brightly colored
flowers and attractive mounds of foliage. They’re best in a sunny spot
with reasonably well drained soil. They should probably be divided every
few years to maintain their vigor. Geum ‘Mango
Lassi’ is a new variety introduced by Blooming Nursery
of Oregon. They say: "Large and delicate soft orange double flowers take
on shades of apricot to mango. Evergreen foliage clump stays neat and
compact." |

Hakonechloa
macra ‘Aureola’ is considered by many to be the most
beautiful ornamental grass, and it is certainly the best grass for shady
places. The habit is arching and graceful, with brilliant yellow leaves
with green stripes, a perfect companion for Hostas and Ferns. The
tawny-pink fall color is an added bonus. |

Helleborus
foetidus, the Bear Claw Hellebore is one of my favorite
Hellebores, with very dark green, heavily lobed leaves and early spring
flowers of apple green, sometimes with a thin burgundy line at petal’s
tip. The upright blooms come in large, showy flowerheads, starting in
very early spring. |
