Perfect Plants for Shade
Woodland Wonderland
- Wondering what to do with that dark, shady corner of the garden? We have the answer! This collection of shade-tolerant perennials refreshes the borders other plants can't reach.
- Our growers will select a beautiful mix of shade-loving plants such as heucheras, hostas, foxgloves, campanulas, poppies, aquilegia and more to provide you with a ready made shady oasis.
- You'll receive everything you need to fill a shady bed (or several containers) with colour, flowers, foliage and texture. Plant once and you're done; these are low-maintenance plants that are easy to grow and will come back bigger and better every year.
- Ideal for woodland planting schemes, wildlife gardens and underplanting trees, these hardy perennials provide interest at different points of the year, from April right through to November.
