Shade Garden Mix
Various Species
Varieties that do well in not-so-much sun.
On a hot summer day when the sun is high, gardeners seek refuge in the shade. The dappled light from the tree canopy provides divine relief from the heat. A hammock beckons. The scene is almost perfect, except sometimes a shady glen feels shadowy, almost chilly, in its want of cheer. There are no flowers here. But more than shadows can grow in the shade. Add this mix to your favorite shady recess to balance the dark with light and fill your shady spot with the joy of flowers.
Includes Five Spot, Baby Blue Eyes, Chinese Houses, Chinese Forget-Me-Not, and Rocket Larkspur Mix.

Artwork by Martha Robinson. Martha captures the feeling of a shady garden by using the process of encaustic embedding hand-drawn elements in layers of wax. Floating gold symbols evoke the mystery we experience when resting in the dappled light of a tree.
