Pinellia tripartita makes nice clumps and is pleasantly weedy. The hardy Begonia, Begonia grandis ssp. evansiana also does well. Cyclamen hederifolium in all the leaf patterns is wonderful under deciduous shrubs, C. coum not so nice as the leaves crisp up in our winters but is very decorative during fall and early winter in a similar position. One of our favorite combinations is Frit. thunbergii planted along with Hellebore 'Wester Fisk'. The best local display of Daffodils in the landscape is just North of here in Goshen. Hundreds of thousands of naturalized bulbs in the meadows and on an island in a small lake make for a fantastic display visible from the roadside during April and May. Mark Mazer Intarsia Ltd.
