Hepatica 2021

[Herman Mylemans]

So there is still enough place for new Hepatica's.

[Herman Mylemans]

There is always shade on this side of our house in the afternoon, there it is always cooler in the summer. So also good for Hepatica.

[Herman Mylemans]

You can also always enjoy the shade of the trees of your neighbor.

[Herman Mylemans]

Conifers can also provide shade. Here are also a lot of bulbs and Cyclamen. Behind the wooden screen is a greenhouse.

Herman thanks for showing pictures of your garden. It is so big and all in order:). And places for different kinds of plants.
It is nice that you have still lots of shade places for Hepaticas like you wrote.

Beautiful garden Herman, you must be very proud of it.

Herman and Jeff - I usually cut my Helleborus leaves gradually. I don't remove them all in the fall because they provide nice decor until it starts snowing in serious quantity.
Most years I remove some of them in late Dec.-January, and the rest only in very early spring.

[Gabriela]

Herman - you have a very beautiful and large garden!
There is indeed quite a bit of space left for more Hepaticas

[Carsten]

Very impressive garden, Herman!! Thanks for sharing :-)

[Herman Mylemans]

Thank you all, but on a picture everything looks bigger than in reality. A garden grows with the years. This is the result from 35 years work and collecting plants for 40 years. Now the accent is more on maintaining the garden and completing the plant collection.

Hepatica nobilis var. insularis stands in the shade of a hedge. Only one of the 3 plants survived, but I hope that seedlings will appear and that ants have done their job.
