Plants for Shady Places
There is typically a spot in a garden that receives less sun than other areas. Not all plants will grow well in dappled shade such as that found under trees, or with less than four hours a day. Fortunately, there are many hardy perennials and plants that can withstand these conditions. This collection of plants for shade is curated with flowers that will grow in a place that is quite shady during the day, provided the soil doesn’t become too dry. Many popular flowers are in this collection, including anemones and hardy geraniums for shade covered gardens. This collection of plants is UK delivered. To save confusion when ordering, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed. Featured plants run approximately from tallest (top left hand corner) to shortest (bottom right hand corner).
