The variegated is really nice, I had some, after a while it lost it's variegation, I like the bonze, vigorous, great purple flowers in the Spring, chocolate is another nice variety for small beds- more bunching

Chris, when are you available for me to come by. My yard is my second obsession after my fish. And do you want any of my zoas in exchange?
Love how tall the flowers are!!! I cleared an overgrown area in the yard. It was all vines. Pretty much all shade. Planted the ajuga and some lungwort to see how it goes. Was thinking some pachysandra next year. Any other shade plant ideas?

My property is mostly shade now and I've been dealing with deer for 30+ years. I like a natural look- and one that doesn't need a lot of maintenance- i have a lot of natives and use a lot of deer resistant plants- I have 2 acres and no lawn lol- pm me and we can talk
Sounds good! Sorry to hijack your thread.

You didn't hijack anything- I think you misunderstood me- I have 40+ yrs experience and like to help when I can- a bit of payback for all the help I get from you guys

@momof6kids - good trade! @Salted you know where I live- stop by for more anytime, @ericrodriguez , still have plenty, I just added a couple of hydrangea to the list- more annuals next week
My plan is to share as much as I can, so I don't have to spend time watering it this summer and can spend more time inside an air conditioned room watching my corals grow lol, and it gets you guys to stop by and we get to chat for a while
