Some of the flower bed gets full sun for about 4 hours but most of it is in much shadier conditions. I was quite surprised by who died & who survived over the winter. All my young seedlings of Lupinus perennis perished, as did all of my Manfreda sileri & M. jaliscana. A few bearded iris seedlings perished due to heaving out of the ground & baking in the sun. Happily, the survivors include: Iris paradoxa (but it didn't bloom this spring), and young seedlings of Callirhoe bushii, Cunila origanoides, and Manfreda maculosa x virginica. Also, my huge patch of summer-time-transplanted Asarum canadense survived & is now in full bloom.
