It’s called Indian Pink, and I have persuaded myself to allow it into the edge of the woodland garden. It is an East Coast native plant, but it comes from a bit south of me in Pennsylvania and Maryland. I have liked its appearance for years, and this year, I decided to see if it is hardy here in New England – yet. With climate change, It’s hard to tell. Yeah, I know…it’s a New England woodland garden. But I couldn’t help myself.
Is it a marker along my new path to being an esoteric, anything-goes gardener? How low can I sink into gardening perversity? Let’s see. Regarding climate change, my part of Massachusetts is supposed to level up to the Carolinas. Is it too soon to plant a Palmetto?

What a pretty plant… hope it does well! 🙂
I do too. I like the color contrasts of the flowers.
