Melanie - thanks for your question! There are four primary plants that meander through this planting zone. There is Pachysandra terminalis (low groundcover in the foreground), Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegan's (blueish-green swath), Hosta 'Guacamole' (lime green swath), and Astilbe 'Deutschland' (lime green background). you may also find some Azalea and native Rhododendron mixed in.
