Thank you for posting. So many interesting plants. I believe I have seen all your posts.

Even more interesting for me as your garden is situated in similar conditions as mine. It is a good inspiration for me for new plantings.

I have tried so many plants and failed, including easy commercial ones. You've shown Sanguinaria canadensis, nice big clumps, cultivars etc. My plain sanguinaria should be perfectly suited to my local conditions and it is barely surviving.

Please, keep sharing your experience. If you need any help, let me know.

Hello Jacek
Sanguinaria must grow in a shady and humid place in the humus soil. A condition for good development is to keep the green leaves until winter. If the leaves will dry in July, the plant will not grow well and bloom poorly.

Excellent clump of sanguinaria Plena! I would wish to have similar.

I knew this is a plant of moist woods. I have all in place except the water. But there is no true drought - I do water my garden. Yet, to make it cool and moist I would have to water every day in summer - I do not provide such a service to my plants. Despite that, I am able to grow many plants of moist woodland without problems: Jeffersonia dubia, Corydalis bushii. Even Corydalis flexuosa survived 10 years. May be sanguinaria needs even more water.

What I find very interesting in your pictures - is the heterogeneity of the plants you grow successfully - from moist woodland to central Asian steppe, from lowlands to the mountains. And many of them seem to be growing in the open garden, not in pots. I wonder how to achieve this effect.

Best wishes
