Shade loving plants
I have a large tub which I have just cleared out (as nothing seemed to be
doing well) and want to re-plant. The tub is in permanent shade and is sheltered from the worst of the weather. Any suggestions for suitable plants - I would prefer permanent planting and some colour (i.e. not particularly keen on dwarf conifers). We are in South Cheshire Jeanne |

We are in South Cheshire Not many flowering plant like shade however if it's open shade how about a Camellia or Rhody or even a Hydrangea. Alternatively if it's very shady ferns fit the bill but will need to be kept moist, as will the plants mentioned above.. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

It is thriving and the added bonus of flowers between december and march if perfect for a dark corner |
