Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web', in collaboration with the purple-leaved heuchera, do the heavy lifting in this combo, with their evergreen foliage. It features a succession of pink blooms, commencing in spring with the primula (blooming in the photo) and later gives way to the hardy geranium, which blooms late spring into summer, and will sometimes re-bloom if cut back hard after the first flush of flowers fade. This combo does best in morning sun and afternoon shade.
