I have 3 small Hydraengas, red, white and blue. I bought the red one first, and planted it in the south garden, in the shade. I planted the other two in the same location, but the red one is suffering badly, so badly that all the blooms have turned brown. I think maybe this one may not have been looked after properly when it was being grown, as there are no new leaves or bloom heads, but the other two are doing really well. Any ideas as to the problem? Thanks
How abour pieris, amelanchier, choisya, spirea, hydrangea as mentioned, leycesteria, mahonia, aucuba, red currant, skimmia. Enough there to keep you going.

I often order plants and get ideas from these folks, their suggestions for shade are really good.
I have a shade garden and often have to plant in dry shade, my best plants this year were euphorbia, alchemilla mollis, aquilegia and tiarella.
