Here's my wish list:

Anemone, white

Any geranium (except sanguinea and Johnson’s Blue). Especially like big root geraniums.

Aconitum (monkshood)

Pulmonaria. Lack of snow cover did half of my older ones in! Luckily, last year’s are fine!

Lack of snow cover also did in all my purple heucheras. Now looking for a mound shaped purple leaved perennial to take their place in the hosta bed.

Strange request: a good friend (who is impaired and cannot drive far enough to come) would like some variegated snow-on-the-mountain (aegopodium). Has shade under trees and can’t get grass or anything else to grow as a low-maintenance groundcover. I had this at a previous house and feel it would work, but don’t grow it myself now. I know it’s invasive, but he needs the coverage.

Aquilegia (columbine), any except for Alpina (dwarf alpine blue)

Short asters

Cimicifuga or actaea, going for purple leaves

Heuchera

Ferns, still need them

Iris esp deep colors like purple, burgundy, or brown

Plumbago (ceratostigma)

Verbena Bonarensis

Woodland plants (not violets or lily of the valley)

Anything that is short with gold leaves

Hydrangea, any

Rhubarb
