  • Coral bells flowers from spring into fall if it has moist, rich soil. Plant masses of coral bells in the front of your borders and water them well.
  • The degree of shade is an important factor in gardening, and usually for flowering plants, partial shade is the best.
  • As the growing season winds down, there are some plants, known in the trade as season extenders, that bridge the gap between fall and winter in gardens.
  • Shade gardens are usually at their best in the spring, but filtered shade gardens can provide summer color, too.
  • When I began gardening, my aim was to have as many flowers as possible, but the longer I garden the more I appreciate the impact of colorful foliage.
