Plans for the Tree Bed

 I've neglected to post photos of this bed because I've not been able to figure out a plan.  I have discovered that I need to give up on the hope of growing anything here that claims to need full sun to part shade.  I need to come to grips that this is a PART SHADE TO FULL SHADE AREA.  It is NOT full shade, because I have a few hours of sun plus dappled sum throughout other parts of the day. I believe I can make this work.  In this post, is a list of what I have currently and a list of what I think will grow.  I just need someone to draw out where it all should go.







a.  Little Henry Sweetspire
b.  Fern (all along house and deck)
c.  Small hosta
d. Coralbell
    e. Dark Green hosta
    f.  Japanese Forest Grass (not in ground yet)
    g. Variegated Hosta
    h.  Another but different Green Hosta
    i.  Solomon's Seal
    k.  Variegated Hosta
    L.  Summer Music Hosta
    m.  Blue hosta
    n.  Another Dark Green Hosta
    o.  Astilbe
    q.  Blue Wonder Toad Lily
     r.  Blue/Green hosta
    s.  Japanese Painted Fer (I forgot that apple!)




Here are the other plants I think will go well with what I have (after I move it around a little):

More Astilbe's (grouped in colors)
Heuchera (deep purple, orange)
Bleeding Heart
Silverbean Lamium (dead nettle?)
Autumn Ferns
Lily Turf
Lungwort
Star of Bethleham
Black Snakeroot
Ligularia "The Rocket"
Foxglove?
Saga Hosta
Bountiful Bouquet Hosta
Vulcan Hosta
Paul's Glory Hosta
Guacamole Hosta
Chocolate Chip Ajuga
Cardinal Flower
