Thank you, Debra. I have a pot of Angelina from about two years ago, and keep taking pieces to add to other gardens and never get around to planting the whole pot. It even stays out and survives the winter with no problems.

That garden, with the Obsidian and Lysmachia, has a lot of those two colors and the Red Veined Dock is another one that's lovely - I do remove the flower stalks. At the far right, in this photo, you may be able to spot a dark wine iris that's similar in color to another heuchera elsewhere in the same garden.

There's another tiny sedum with rounded edges that forms beautiful mounds. I'll have to track down the name of it. The Lysimachia can grow with great gusto but it's also easy to rip out and not like some of the vile invasives. The heuchera family doesn't have that problem, thankfully.

(Happy birthday a few days early, Debra!)
