Tropical-looking garden in shade - advice requested
Hi,
I have recently come back from Cuba and love their gardens. Large red and green leaves, a few red flowers and an overall lush feel. I would like to recreate this in the UK, but my garden is almost all in shade, a lot of it full shade. I also don't want to have to bring plants in, or protect them over the winter. The plants do not need to actually be tropical, just recreate that feel. My ideas so far are fatsia japonica, tree ferns (and other ferns), bamboo and rhubarb, either real or ornamental. I would love a cordyline or phormium but think they prefer sun? And the same for gunnera? Any ideas gratefully welcomed. thank you Rosalyn |
