Geranium
Perennial Geraniums are just one of the members of the
family Geraniaceae. Well-drained soil is beneficial to most
varieties. Pinch rather heavily after flowering to encourage
blooming throughout the summer. Geranium perennials can
be a very useful weed smothering, tight-nit groundcover. It
is at home in almost any soil as along as its well drained. It
needs to be planted in an area of cool sun to partial shade.
Geranium perennials require minimal care once well
established and are free from most pests and diseases.

Perennials
Hemerocallis - daylilies are easy to grow, colorful, extremely
accommodating and will perform under almost all conditions. The daylily
can be characterized as a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial with
fibrous or somewhat tuberous roots. Preferring well drained, well
mulched and sunny positions, it will tolerate extreme damp to very dry
sandy soil. Flowers will be more prolific in better soil and in full sun. In
heavy shade, foliage may be more abundant with few flowers. Daylilies
prefer at least six hours a day for the paler shades, less for the darker
reds and purples. If flowers fade, wilt or burn in direct sun, move them
to filtered shade

Heuchera - Alum Root are mainly natives of North America. They typically grow from
12 to 18 inches high and known for their beautiful foliage. In the summer, tiny, bellshaped, flowers form graceful spikes on long, thin, hairy stems. Heuchera have become almost as plentiful as Hosta and offer a nice alternative for shade gardening
where you may want to introduce different colored foliage.
