Spring in Norway: the sound of water
One of the most useful plants ever for dry shade must be the hardy geraniums.
I have a lot of different sorts, most of them spreading and self-seeding, but easy to remove if not wanted.
I re-discovered this under a Camelia almost smothered by weeds, and prceeded to rescue it!
It is also called Geranium himalayense 'Plenum', and is a very pretty plant ( when it's well!) about 10-12" highwith these charming 1" flowers.
It is by no means as vigourous as the single forms, and I discovered it doesn't like it too dry, and would prefer to be in the sun!
It had a great surprise that day, and I hope it is still feeling better for it!
It is sterile, and can be propogated by division, so I hope to bulk it up over this year.
