Shady spot - what can I plant right now?

Hi geosaver & .. There lots of lovely plants you can plant..

Here are a few Perennials..
Bergenia
Convallaria majalis
Corydalis
Digitalis
Geranium phaeum
Hellebore
Hosta
Lamium
Pulmonaria

These are a few shrubs if you want some..
Camellia varieties
Cotoneaster varieties
Elaeagnus x ebbingei varieties
Euonymus fortunei
Fatsia japonica
Garrya elliptica
Hedera varieties
Osmanthus varieties
Pachysandra terminalis
Pryacantha varieties
Ribes varieties
Sarcococca varieties
Skimmia varieties
Vinca varieties

And of course there are so many ferns to choose from & some of them are glorious..
For a large (60-120cm), luxuriant fern, choose Dryopteris filix-mas. It remains green until late in the year and is a superb contrast to rounded foliage plants. It will grow virtually anywhere. Or try Polystichum setiferum, an evergreen, hardy fern with fronds 15-60cm long. Ferns make great ground cover. Most need a cool, damp, sheltered site. I love Matteuccia struthiopteris, with its lacy fronds. It thrives in boggy places.

Hope that helps you a bit, research some of them as I am sure you will find some you reallt like.. :thumb:

 

:wink: Most of them are still around in the garden centres you just need to water religiously every day if it is dry probably..
The best thing is probably to google & get a list & go to your garden centre.. Some may not be available till the end of summer but there will be plenty.. Ask what they have got in stock still Another good one is the Hardy geranium "The Geraniaceae Group" .. They are little beauties & as long as they never dry out in their 1st year you will be fine in.. I should think there are still some in the garden centres look at all the different ones..! I have quite a few different one of them.. Also there are Geums, they are also known as Avens & are another I have 4 kinds so far of them.. :gnthb:
Hardy geraniums all mixed together


This is just one Geum but they are all smashing.. Well if you like them that is.. :lollol:


Have a good google & then trawl your Garden centres.. I don't know where you are but you may a have a specialist nursery not too far away..
