If you have a shady corner that needs a little love, autumn is the perfect time to get some beautiful, shade-loving perennials into the ground. Give them time to settle in now, and they’ll reward you with a fuller, more established display next year.
Some of our favourites:
🍃 Heucheras – fantastic foliage in shades from lime green to deep burgundy, bringing colour even when flowers are scarce.
🌿 Hostas – those gorgeous architectural leaves are hard to beat, with endless varieties, colours and textures to choose from.
🌸 Geraniums – reliable, long-flowering and brilliant for weaving through borders and under trees.
✨ Tricytis 'Pink Freckles' – an underrated beauty for late summer and autumn, with exotic-looking, orchid-like flowers that thrive in dappled shade.
🌱 Alchemilla mollis – soft, frothy foliage and sprays of lime-green flowers that work beautifully alongside almost everything.
Plant now. Let them settle. Enjoy them next year. 🌿
