Shade comes alive

Gone are the drab and lifeless shade gardens of the past! With the addition
of a few brilliant foliage plants with unusual textures and some vibrant flowers,
the shadiest and most forgotten areas of your garden will spring to life. A shade
garden’s best friend? Hostas, to be sure. With so many sizes, textures,
and colours to choose from, perennial, hardy, easy-to-maintain and wonderful
hostas are absolute must-haves. Ferns play a big role too, excellent companions
for delicate perennial flowers with shimmering, eye-catching blooms. Sunny
gardens are so much fun, but long-neglected shade gardens are coming into

their own. Get on board!
