hi there,

looking for some inspiration on what to plant in this area?

 I had dug up a load of carex pendula which was taking over the area.

it is beneath an apple tree, gets good sunlight morning to mid afternoon, then it's shaded.

A trip to the garden centre this afternoon, so some ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.image

    I'd go for hardy geraniums image

    I have spring bulbs followed by Astilbes, hardy geraniums and hostas under my Apple tree. They all flourish in the shade of the canopy and look fab.

    Oh - and some aquilegias.

    Many thanks, looks like Geraniums it is then!

    I'd add in some Spring bulbs too. Attract the pollinators early so they come back for the apple blossom.
