    Everything looks great Jewell! I'm always looking for companions for my every growing collection of Hosta. I don't have the deep shade the Hellebores like, but I think I do have the rest shown except for the Brunnera ... I did plant one last year but it didn't come up this spring. Columbine and Painted Ferns do well here, and Astilbe. Do you know the names of each variety of Hosta shown?

    How I wish I could have a display of different Hostas here. Ours get filigreed in no time by slugs and look really bad. :sulk:Your Primula Vialli look great alongside that variegated hosta as do the painted ferns. :)
