Planting Advise Please
Hi,
We have finally got around to clearing our overgrown north facing damp border in our front garden under our living room window. It’s quite a large space with an existing beautiful Acer and quite a large Camila. I am wanting now place a load of cardboard down (to deter the Ivy that we’ve got rid of) and throw over some soil and start planting. I would appreciate some advise on the types of flowers that are best suited. I am looking at a couple of foxgloves and hostas but I would like to have a blue/purple colour pallet as the Camellia has a short flowering period so the pink will be gone by late April and in the Autumn the Acer turns that beautiful red. Any bulbs/flowers that suit the damp shady area?
