found your site when I was searching for some information about Symphytum “Axminster Gold”. I really love experiments with different foliages, very nice examples!
Best wishes from germany, Birgit

Thanks for visiting, Birgit! That ‘Axminster Gold’ really is a beautiful plant.

Do you know of any? (Cistus nursery in Oregon doesn’t have any at this time) Thanks Merry

Hi Merry! It appears the the Variegated Foliage Nursery currently has it. It’s listed at http://www.variegatedfoliage.com/perennials.html. You may want to give them a call and check the availability. It’s pricey but worth every penny, I think. Good luck!

I’m on the lookout for spiraea, dogwood, and elderberry this spring at the local nurseries–golds and variegates. Actually getting quite excited about having more shrubs for lots of reasons, and largely because it means less perennials to plant and more sculpture / vertical-ness. Thanks, Nan.

Hey, thanks for visiting, Benjamin! With the amount of space you have to fill, yes, shrubs will be your friends. And so will big annuals, in the short run.
