A few more:
#1 Houstonia caerulea (Bluets) - still going strong.
#2 Anemonella thalictroides Shoaf\'s Double. Admittedly, these are tiny, but so pretty. They bloom early before their more thuggish neighbors get going.
#3 My favorite epimedium, E warleyense. Bright orange flowers, non-fussy plant.
#4 is an example of Plant Lust overwhelming common sense. This is Syneilesis palmata Kikko. Syneilesis does well in my yard, so I was excited to see this new beautifully variegated cultivar. So I plunked down way more money than reasonable, only to see my new Kikko languish and die off before end of the season. I thought \'lesson learned\'. But suddenly 3 yrs later, here\'s a slowly spreading clump of beautifully variegated foliage. It apparently loses it\'s variegation with the heat of the summer. But looks nice today!
