Forest Pansy is a beauty, and I love the fern underplanting idea. Hi, Sandi, and nice to see you — and hear about your redbuds and other trees.

I now have what some people would say too many , but I love the time of year here when they are in full bloom. They bloomed really well for me this past spring and seem to be very hardy. Now I'm moving on to Kousa Dogwoods and shrubs to fill in and make it seem like I have been gardening here for a very long time. The Forest Pansy that I purchased from a nursery was placed in the wrong spot so needed to be moved from getting full afternoon sun. It was to replace a tree that I lost a few years back. I moved it this spring and it seems to be lots happier in afternoon shade location. It is a purple leafed version of the eastern redbud. I want to underplant it with the Japanese painted fern or the ghost fern. As I am getting older and am not there every season of the year I am trying to have a garden that pretty much takes care of itself.
