Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Moonlight' climbing hydrangea<br />

For most gardeners here in Portland, it should be ‘Street Light,’ but no bother -- the heart-shaped foliage still<br />

shines brightly in the late afternoon and evening. Blazing fall color. A deciduous, self-clinging vine to run up<br />

a shaded conifer or a wall -- won’t disturb m<strong>as</strong>onry. Starts slowly but can reach 10 x 8 ft in a few years. and is<br />

e<strong>as</strong>ily pruned in early spring. Established plants produce white, lacecap flowers. Best in shade - at le<strong>as</strong>t<br />

dappled shade in moist, acid soil. Frost hardy to <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />

Sweet little sedum, the small, pale green leaves edged in white and rimmed in a bit <strong>of</strong> red that incre<strong>as</strong>es <strong>as</strong> the<br />

weather cools. To only 4" tall x 1 ft wide, these form a small patch <strong>of</strong> summer interest and winter cheer.<br />

Silene dioica 'Clifford Moor' red campion<br />

Who really cares about flowers when foliage can be this scrumptious with its variegated leaves <strong>of</strong> green edged<br />

in gold. Forming clumps 12-1" tall x 1 ft wide, these dieback perennials look lovely all summer but, to give<br />

the flowers their due, are especially fine when adorned with loose cymes <strong>of</strong> pink flowers standing above the<br />

foliage. Best in well-drained soil with protection from hottest afternoon sun and accepting <strong>of</strong> summer water or<br />

dry conditions once established. Frost hardy to -20F, <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />
