Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to plant in a shady rock outcropping? I've been pulling ivy off this outcropping and have discovered several small ledges that seem to cry out for small plants. There are limitations: the area is really dark, except in the winter and early spring; it is difficult (though not impossible) to water, and it is about 20 feet from the sidewalk, which means that the plants have to "read" from a distance. I have already planted some creeping campanula, some white corydalis and a hellebore, and was thinking of putting in some variegated miniature hostas. Any other ideas? Are there epimediums that need fast drainage (now that, for the first time, I actually have it)? Hepaticas that don't cost $65 a plant? Something so sweet that, as Dan Hinkley once wrote, you want to slap it?
Thanks,
Nancy Stedman, NYC
