I garden in zone 5B and often find plants I love that would not survive in my harsh PA mountain climate. It would be wonderful if you would include zone detail in your descriptions.

I live in 90 acres of woods in the Berkshires of Mass. and have planted helleborus here and there along the edge of our woods -yes, a few from Herronswood - and they all are doing splendidly. Because some woods soils tend to be thin with lots of roots, we do enrich our soil with compost for each plant. I've found many plants that do well in 3-4 hours of sun. Try them, you'll love them!

I also wish they would work on poppies for zone 9. I love poppies but there are so few that will grow south of zone 7, other than the wild flower types.
