WE have order one of your books on the internet, “Foliage” it shall be exating to read it.

You’re right, Ken: The habit of the Hakone grass makes it look just like a well-combed horse’s mane. I’m so thrilled that you’re getting a copy of Foliage. I hope you and Carina enjoy it!

And the black-foliaged chervil/cow parsnip. Like you, Nan, I wish my hakone would spread a little faster, but I sure love that pink tinge in fall, and its water-fall appearance. Like the previous commenter says, feel free to post on these sorts of colour combos anytime. They’re just amazing.

Yes, Jodi, you *need* the persicaria. I did find it listed here at Wild Things nursery in Ontario; I don’t know if that would work for you as a source. They sell the anthriscus too! Or, I could let a bit of mine set seed this year and send you some. I find it’s easiest to get established from direct-sowing, or by transplanting very young seedlings.

And feel free to post about burgundy/gold/black/chartreuse combos anytime. What’s not to love?!!

Thanks, Elly! You know I never get tired of either color. But I have another series of entries on burgundy with other colors ready to go. So many photos, so little time….
