The north side of the path actually gets more sun than the south side of the path, moved plants around quite a bit. I love astilbe but have resisted planting any more because in our recent heat spells it does not hold up.
Lady In Red Fern does well in sun along with the daylilies, still working on a few of the hostas that are getting quite a bit of sun, petunias in the baskets.
This is the north side garden looking to the west, Green Sheen Pachysandra on the left has done well in the shadier area.
Always good to have a view through a gate!
Sedum Matrona
North side leading out into almost full sun
Amsonia Northwind
Cut down after flowering to fill out for a fall color display
Paul's Glory Hosta needs to be divided.
Many ferns like the sun, such as Lady Fern and Lady in Red.
I have used a lot of the Sunpatiens this year both in sun and part shade.
Visions Astilbe with Interrupted Fern
Astilbe Chinesis Visions
This is the best year because of the rain.
Astilbe Sprite
Even the lighter colored clematis does well on the north side, blues, pinks, white.
I will end with Endless Summer, one bloom this year, can't believe I still have them!
