Edgeworthia underplantings virginia: Quick notes
Hi GPODers!
Although my garden isn’t anything special, we’ve had a lovely spring here in Central Virginia. I live about 15 minutes from the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the terminus of Skyline Drive. My garden is at about 950 feet elevation.
I have a veritable garden growing underneath my Edgeworthia which was beautiful all winter long and very fragrant in February/March. Most of the blooms have fallen by now, and it is starting to leaf out. But I’ve got a “forest” of Mayapples, ferns and Solomon’s Seal all tucked into the shade provided by the Edgworthia. They are all very happy crowded in together.
Here you can see one of the Edgeworthia’s bloom dangling over the fern and Solomon’s Seal.
You practically have to get down on your own face to see the Mayapple’s blooms, but it’s worth it to see their bright faces.
Another Mayapple bloom.
A wild little viola also enjoys the shade of the Edgeworthia.
The Edgeworthia also provides a home for a bird. Here is its nest.
The pretty little “bells” on the Solomon’s Seal. You can almost hear them ringing!
Not directly under the Edgeworthia, but near it is a clump of Dicentra Eximia. I have several clumps in my garden. It seems to like the environment even though it gets hot afternoon sun!
In front of the Edgeworthia is a dogwood which has been very happy this spring, although was beginning to leaf out and lose it’s blooms by the time I snapped this pic.
And finally, for color amidst all the green and white are a couple of pots of bright pansies on the front porch, just a couple of steps away from the Edgeworthia.
