I think your 'Indian Princess' would look great with your Cotinus. Lots of interesting foliage. I also grow timber bamboo, Henon and nigra. I'm surprised how slowly they grow and increase.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-23052999391035700942013-07-17T12:26:15.010-07:002013-07-17T12:26:15.010-07:00Theme, shmeme...your random approach has revealed ...Theme, shmeme...your random approach has revealed several must-haves.

I love it but eliminating it would give me a HUGE sunny space to grow more plants. On the other hand, everyone who walks through my garden comments on what a special surprise the walk-through bamboo grove is in a small urban garden. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-42963030499164158062013-07-16T15:52:24.162-07:002013-07-16T15:52:24.162-07:00Thanks Holley!

Glad to read it gets the Hayefield endorsement. Persicaria 'Painters Palette' has seeded itself all over my garden and is one of my signature plants. Every so often I thin it out-easy to pull.<br /><br />Oh and my Tetrapanax is finally putting on some size. My hope is to winter it over in the ground with protection so the bigger it gets before winter sets in, the better.
