Three More Shredded Umbrella Plants - Backyard - June 2025

In 2023, I planted two Shredded Umbrella Plants in amongst some epimedium in the understory garden on the north side.  They're foliage plants that have a pretty unique leaf to them and I've admired them ever since they went in the ground.  This is now their third growing season and for the first time...they flowered.  See below for the current state of these unique foliage plants:

I figured that in service of 'repetition' in the garden, why not add a few more.  The last time I was up at Northwind Perennial Farm, I picked up three more Shredded Umbrella plants and decided to put them in opposite the current batch - along the southside.   Here, below, are the three nursery container plants pre-planting:

I opted to put them in amongst the Autumn Ferns, in-front-of the water bubbler in the wine barrel.  With a couple of carex in the back, this is becoming a Roy Diblik-inspired cluster of perennials.

These little pop of foliage are something that can check a few boxes:  reptition (which I already talked about) as well as 'something that works'.  Couple of 2025 to-do items, indeed.
