I do know that they are very fussy about growing conditions...mostly having to do with the soil chemistry. That is why they only grow in very restricted areas. I have not seen them being sold in nurseries. <br />You are right the leaves are similar to Bergenia leaves, only a little more leathery.

The Galax plant should work here if it is available and I have plenty of shade. The dark green leaves with the Daffodils are very lovely. You make the best flower bouquets.<br />Hugs, SieglindeDahling1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01706796518280004968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-63202396432793769382018-04-13T06:47:28.860-06:002018-04-13T06:47:28.860-06:00Dear Rosemary, I have not seen the Galax leaves us...Dear Rosemary, I have not seen the Galax leaves used in Europe. Not many people know about them in this country. What is so wonderful about them, besides their unusual shape, is that they will keep in the refrigerator for many months, always ready when needed.

Your unusual selection of daffodils are beautifully offset by the galax leaves.

I had no idea they came from the Appalachians - not too far from us!<br />Worked in the garden yesterday and planted some of your aster seeds - hoping to have better luck this time. Of course my front beds are not so pretty since everything was cut back or removed when the house was re-sided last fall - but I'm always hoping things will eventually pop up again!<br /><br />Hope all is well with you and G - will e-mail soon to catch up - going to Charlotte this weekend to visit friends. Hope you have a nice weekend with sunny, warm days. <br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.com
