I really like the Foxglove flowered hybrid Penstemons. Unfortunately most of the varieties I’ve tried simply do not survive here in the mid Atlantic. The closest I have come is Penstemon ‘Sour Grapes’, which has good showy purple flower spikes over a long season and has proved to be rock hardy here.

Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum' is a favorite plant here and a mature specimen is a focal point in any shade garden. The leaves are 3-4" long, medium green, edged and lightly streaked with white. They are widely spaced along the graceful arching stems. The bell shaped flowers are greenish white, hanging along the undersides of the stems in spring and early summer. The leaves and stems have good substance and are long lasting when used as cuts.
