beds of solid color, and require full sun. Keep seed pods picked off. 
If intended for winter flowering, cut back in September.

SHADE LOVING PLANTS 
Ferns are not the only plants which enjoy the 
sunless corner. There are species of Begonias 
which will flower in total shade. There is a 
charming little perennial called Coral Bells (Heu- 
chera sanguinea), whose slender spikes of dark 
pink flowers are now seen in many gardens.
