My poor neglected gardens :(

Haven't had much time so far to do anything in my gardens so please excuse the mess and the weeds.
The side garden beside the house. Hostas, Lady's Mantle, campanula, cat mint, delphinium, and a few other things.......

These ones are in my "forgotten garden" at the front of the house. I never get up there to clean it up.

Blanket Flowers are one of my fav. They don't last long as a perennial but they self seed so I always have lots. Just never sure where they are going to pop up in my beds. And that suits me fine. I'm not an organized gardener. Sort of like the wild look.

Coral Bell seeds

I have just collected a good number of Coral Bell seeds. If anyone is interested in some feel free to pm me your address and I will be glad to send you some. These seeds are very tiny so, while it may not look like I have sent you a bunch, you will get probably 25 to 50 seeds.

They're gorgeous, 14+!! Are they shade plants or do they like sun?

Those particular plants have been there since last spring. They are in complete open with a few taller plants to shade them. I have my Jacob's Ladder and Day lilies planted nearby and tons of Black Eyed Susans. They would do well in the open as long as they were well watered or had some shade during the heat of the day.
Did you want some seeds? I know I didn't send any before as these guys didn't flower well last year. Or have you run out of room.

If they like shade, I have just the place for them As long as they're not toxic, anyway Do you know?

The place I have is right in front of the hummingbird garden and the dogs will likely be able to nibble a leaf here and there... It's in shade most of the day except for the early morning. Think they'd like it there?

I will get them sent. You could try putting the seeds in when you get them but don't expect much this year. Not toxic to dogs. Does well in shade or mostly shade as well as sun. It's one of those all round good plants. Give it some water occasionally and you can basically forget it. At least until it gives that beautiful show of flowers.
