Spring Deliveries – Part I

 If I could do a cartwheel, I’d be flippin’ right now. This combination is amazing! The flowering plant is a Lenten Rose (Helleborus ‘Winter Moonbeam’). It came in the mail on Wednesday with two other plants. I usually don’t start planting perennials until late March, but these are hardy a few zones further North, so I am hoping they will be fine. If I had waited, I would have missed the bloom, and that was totally unacceptable.

 Good design is a result of careful planning, but sometimes the best designs are a happy circumstance, or what you get after walking around the garden with a plant in your hand wondering where it belongs. That’s how he landed here. What makes this combination so fabulous is that the color of the faded blossoms are an exact match to the underside of the emerging leaves on the monk’s cap (Aconitum, ‘Fischeri’). The little wild iris adds a nice texture.

The plant in the upper right is another new arrival Helleborous foetidus, ‘Red Silver’. I killed the last Helleborous foetidus I tried, but I’m very optimist about this one. He is perfect here with the silver laced, purple leaves of the coral bells (Heuchera, ‘Frosted Violet’), the spiky texture of Carex ‘Blue Zinger’, and the ruffled purple leaves of the kale. Once we get to frost free, I’m going to eat the kale and plant something else.
