Planting in Shade

Epimedium

One of the most difficult spots people find to to plant is shade. This is why we have created a shade house in our shade tunnel and its brimming with plants, not just ferns and hostas but perennials, excellent ground cover for both dry and wet shade. Here are some suggestions that should help to carpet the ground. 

A Pretty Border In My Garden

This is one of my borders.I have both orange and purple tulips in my hot coloured border. See how the orange pop against the Pittosporum dark foliage and the soft telima frothy spikes. There is some apricot huchera foliage in there and a back drop of white hellebores and ferns.
