Gardener Jane Horn has been busy creating a garden paradise in her suburban Minnesota garden for the last 12 years. The garden lives large, even though her lot is only two-thirds of an acre. Learn more from Jane in the following slides.
Add Color to Your Side Yard
A wooded hillside provided Jane the perfect place to put in a rustic flagstone path. Beds of hosta and yellow Corydalis lutea, one of her favorite plants, flank the charming walkway.
Make Great Plant CombosLong-blooming Corydalis is a perfect companion for hostas because the foliage creates a wonderful textural contrast. Blue hosta varieties stand out against the yellow Corydalis blooms; chartreuse selections complement the dainty blossoms.
Test Garden Tip: Contrast hostas with other fine-leaf plants such as fernleaf bleeding heart, astilbe, or Japanese painted fern.
Most plants look best when planted in large groups. That's especially true for yellow Corydalis, which offers abundant sprays of tiny flowers over its ferny foliage. Corydalis is a self-seeding perennial that provides a dense groundcover.
Test Garden Tip: Select sweet woodruff, another fine-textured groundcover for shade. It has fragrant white flowers in early May.
