Meandering over and around just about anything, this Tiarella provides a lush, colorful tapestry in the shade. The runners throw forth richly colored, deeply dissected, heart-shaped leaves in tones of deep purple-black radiating outward to burgundy-red. In Spring, masses of tiny white flowers appear in airy racemes, levitating above the foliage and adding a mystical dimension to the woodland garden. Dainty in appearance, tough in constitution, let this one run free, cascading over rocks, rambling in and out of a collection of native species.
Soft purple-pink with yellow eye, WandaÆs leaves open a bit bronzed before going solid green. With the PrimroseÆs characteristic cold hardiness, æWandaÆ is the standard-bearer of the group of hybrids derived from Primula juliae a small brightly-flowered species discovered in Caucasian mountain forests in 1900 and P. vulgaris, a native of English meadows. Tolerates a considerable amount of shade while requiring moist soil.
"Purplish-green, finely dissected foliage contrasts perfectly with the fragrant, pure white bottlebrush-like flowers that dangle at the tips of wand-like purplish stems on this tall, shade-loving perennial. Excellent for the back of the moist, lightly-shaded border, it is big and attention-grabbing but not coarse. Nicely complemented by grey or gold-leaved shade lovers like hostas. Provide organically-enriched soil and shade from hot afternoon sun."

Chocolate Cosmos
As the heat of the summer day retreats, the greater the intensity of the bewitching chocolate scent of these maroon-going-on-black blooms. After establishing themselves, the plants form an upright mound of ferny foliage that progressively conveys more and more blooms as the season progresses. Left in a bright sunny spot with adequatedrainage, the clumps will continue, growing back a bit larger and more spectacularly.
