The list & comments made very interesting reading. Loved all of them..Missed seeing my favorite lilies of the valley. They spread like mad but love them.

Since most of my yard is shady, this was most interesting. Shady side of gardening -- love it!

I was happy to see bleeding heart in Texas...maybe worth a try. I love Japanese Painted fern. I am always looking for something to lighten up my shade

The bleeding heart I bought last summer turned out to be white. Surprise. Great clump, however.

Has anyone been successful growing Bleeding heart in Texas? I noticed a picture in the database by Dave, but that was a while ago.

I grew Bleeding Hearts in Tennessee, and when we moved to Texas in 2003 I brought one with me in a container and it bloomed (in its container) the first spring. Unfortunately, it didn't survive that first summer, and I never grew it again.
