I understand that New Guinea imps don't get the downy mildew disease. They can be a bit pricey if you are use to putting in several flats of imps like we usually do.
Thank you Catmint, That is exactly what my bed started out as, a small bed behind the Potting shed. Then I cut back the Quince that was growing beside the shed and worked into that space. This bed gets most of its color from several different Heuchera and hosta of varying colors. Some variegated ivy (can be a real thug), hardy begonia, ferns, hellebore. Then I added in a few annual begonias. All pretty much common plants. The leaf color and textures give it plenty of color even when it isn't blooming much.
