Hi. I'd love reccomendations for plants for my memorial garden for my dear dog (that passed this week) ...
He was black and fluffy :( - so I'd like the following types of plants - preferably perennials or shrubs for light to part to full shade (I can do moist or dry soil)

-Soft/ fluffy tactile plants (like seedheads o(r flowerheads)
-Black plants (flowers etc)
-plants with Nicky (or Nicki or Nickolas)in the name (that was his name :(
-flowers that symbolize/ or have rememberance or love? in the name (like forget me nots)
-plants with dog in the name

thank you so much in advance (broken hearted) :(

Sorry about the loss of your dog. We do get attached to them, don't we.

Lamb's Ear for softness.
Nicotiana sylvestris for 'Nicky' (annual)
Dogwood is obvious.
Rosemary is for remembrance.

You have my sympathy.

Nicotiana Only The Lonely might be appropriate, if not too sad a name. It's a beautiful plant with graceful flowers that will self-seed.
