Hosta Koriyama Arisaema Cast iron plants grow well

Cast iron plants grow well in both moist and dry soils as long as the drainage is good

I first spotted this fascinating deer-resistant Eurasian-native bog plant in England decades ago at the garden of the introducer

Patrinia scabiosifolia is a great plant to blend in the garden border or to use in flower arrangements

think very good drainage

Each narrow wavy twisted leaf has a dark green center surrounded by a wide creamy edge that is gold in the early spring. In midsummer, the clumps are topped with dark lavender flowers on 15" tall scapes.
