Successful flowers


These are two highly successful perennials. In the back; a stand of Polygonatum (Solomon's Seal). I started with two stalks, transplanted from my mother's garden. Three years later, I have this wonderful show, which hides the rainbarrels. And in front, a lovely clump of Dicentra Luxuriant (Bleeding Heart). This blooms all summer long, and has been more showy each year. This specimen is also 3 years old.

Hello, nice pictures! Is the Solomon's seal very invasive or does it slowly form the nice bunch like that?

It's not invasive. That clump is about 4 years old now, and has filled in, and gotten taller, but I haven't had to cut any back yet.
