Hi there ! I'm sure this old chesnut has made a previous appearance !!
I need to cover or at least partially fill a shaded area underneath my
Yew tree. I have had very little success over the last growing season
so was wanting to ask what would be the best thing to plant.


AFAIK nothing will grow well under yew - not even bulbs.



Wouldn't Cyclamen (coum and hederifolium) grow there?


My guess is, no.
