rockery shadey area

Hello

Im wandering if anyone out there has some ideas on some colour plants or flowers to go in a rovkery section in our new garden. The area has next to no sun at all. A lot of plants at our local centre have full or part sun plants but i know 75% of the bedded area gets none!

 

Hello Richierobot (How did you come by that name for goodness sake)
Here are one or two to think about Snowdrops,Bluebells,Ferns(green)Ajuga,Hardy Geranium,Hosta,Vinca,Lilly of the Valley,etc of course it depends how big it is as well,you might experiment with Impatients and Pansys which may also do well....Good luck and WELCOME to our wonderful world.

 

Hi richierobot and a warm welcome from me too. Now that roders has listed all these plants, there really are plenty of things to choose from that do well in the shade. We have great luck with the Vinca and the added beauty is that it is green all year round. Just be careful with the Lily of the Valley as it gets out of hand. Good Luck!

 

Hi Roders and Kedi-Gato - Thanks v.much for the list. We already have Snowdrops, Bluebells and lily of the Valley so i think we may well try Impatients as I had excellent success with them last year in a window box. Thx again.
