The biggest challenge I faced on this project was selecting specific plants that would tolerate dry and shady conditions directly under 2 mature Red Oak trees.
Here is the list of plants I used:
Rhododendron Azalea
'Candy Lights', 'Pinxterbloom', 'Mandarin Lights', 'Northern Highlights', 'Weston's Innocense', 'Pink & Sweet', 'Lemon Drop', 'Lilac Lights', 'Viscosepalum', 'White Lights', 'Rosy Lights', 'Golden Lights'
Astilbe False Spirea
'Deutschland', 'Finale', 'Fanal'
Carex Sedge
'Evergold', 'Ice Dance'
Chasmanthium latifolium Northern Sea Oats
Dicentra spectabilis Bleeding Heart
Ferns
Japanese Painted, Cinnamon, Leatherwood
Hosta Plantain Lily
'Albo Marginata', 'Hyacinthia', 'Gold Standard', 'Blue Angel', 'Francee'
Lamium maculatum 'Pink Pewter'
Phlox 'Home Fires'
Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm'
Azaleas were purchased from Cobble Creek Nursery and perennials from Fairfax Perennial Farm.
