Topic: its a bit shady!

[sawfish]

I agree about shade being good, I love my shady corner most of all in my plot, its where I have my ramsons and mushroom logs.

Mee too, I'm actively creating a shady area in my garden so I can grow ligularia, hostas, ferns, primroses, actea, monarda & others I haven't come across yet.  Admittedly a lot of these afe for damp shade & I've lined part of the area to retain the moisture.  A lot of effort but I can't wait to see it taking shape as the season progresses.

if it's dry try lily of the valley, i think the one i used to have was called something like convallaria rosea,

Were those the pink ones? If so, they're not easy to find, and given my luck with lily of the valley, I've never dared try them.

Yes Robert. Mine was in the garden already. The whole garden was shaded by an enormous pine tree that previous tenants had planted years ago. I had to get a neighbour in to identify it. I was going to take it when i moved but seemed so happy where it was seemded rather cruel!
