Now the foxgloves have stopped flowering what plant would be a good
replacement in a shadey boarder, that will offer height and colour? My
boarder is looking so bare now.


Impatiens, geraniums, pelargoniums (often called "geraniums" but not
really the same). These will all do okay with some sun but also
tolerate complete shade.


Hosta which I add caladiums too but the latter is annual about here.
I like white christmas as the white in dark places is neat.
