    Unknown seedling

    Fuschia can produce attractive (?) fruity berries likely to appeal to birds so could have arrived by air. There are in excess of 9000 cultivars so it may be worth growing on just to see.

    Ideas for shady front garden....

    If you did decide to remove your grass areas @machtucker, Hakonechloa makes good ground cover. I have it planted under an Acer in my lower garden shown below in summer, autumn and winter.
