Tiny garden surrounded by high buildings
My garden is tiny and surrounded by high buildings. All the plants
invariably grow high and straggly to reach the light. Can anyone suggest flowering plants that are resistant to this phenomenon? |

"Eileen wrote in message ... My garden is tiny and surrounded by high buildings. All the plants invariably grow high and straggly to reach the light. Can anyone suggest flowering plants that are resistant to this phenomenon? Depends how much shade, are we talking very dark or open aspect but just no sun? Ferns are the obvious choice but you do specify "flowering" so they are no good. So from RD Encyc of Garden Plants & Flowers choose the right varieties from... Anemone; Aquilegia; Asperula; Astilbe; Aucuba; Bergenia; Cimicifuga; Convallaria; Cyclamen; Digitalis; Dryopteris; Endymion; Epimedium; Eranthis; Erythronium; x Fatshedera; Fothergilla; Galanthus; Helleborus; Heuchera; Hosta; Hypericum; Lamium; Lilium (some); Mahonia; Oxalis; Pachysandra; Podophyllum; Polygonatum; Primula; Pulmonaria; Rhododendrum; Ruscus; Stuartia; Symphoricarpos; Tiarella; Tolmiea; Trillium; Trollus; Vaccinium; Veratrum; Vinca; Viola. There's a few to look up in the books. :-) -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
