    Yes, that sounds plausible. My soil is dry but there's only one tree near the anemones.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Thanks both, yes we have very dry shade because of all the trees, it's not the easiest of conditions to work with. Still, after 5 years the garden is now looking quite full, we're getting to know what will tolerate the conditions and what won't.  :)

    Right plant, right place is still the motto  :)
    At least they're growing for you, and your garden's coming along well. That's all that matters. Always a learning curve with conditions   :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yeah, this is my first time gardening at all so the last 5 years have been a huge learning curve!

    With gardening, the downs are sometimes as useful, or more useful, as the ups, although only if we learn from them!
    I can't say I always manage that  ;)  

    Your local climate and conditions are the main factor with successes. Once you get the hang of that, it's definitely much easier  :)
