Hi Crawgarden, Yes, I thought about the moisture issues. I am putting in a drip system so I can water without so much waste. I have nearly everything I need right now, and will start putting the hoses out pretty soon.
I bought medium, and small hostas so that they will fit into the smaller landscape. So there are no super-sized hostas that need to fill a large area as some do. The mediums are the 2 Abiqua Drinking Gourd, one Patriot, and the three smalls are June, Brim Cup, and Sunset Groves. I am interested in getting some curly edge hostas at some point.
I looked at the recommendations for the filler plants, and really like the caladiums, However, I have started to become interested in Heuchera also (which would last longer). I will most likely get a few caladiums until next year because I have gone over budget on my garden purchases yet again!
Thanks for the responses!
Katy
