flowers for only shaded areas

This question was asked by
Janet P

we have a large shaded area of the garden that needs ground cover

Hi Janet
You don’t say if it’s dark or light shade ?
Nearly all the heuchera heucherella and tiarella can go in partial or light shade.
Tiarella, heucherella and lime or light coloured foliage heucheras, like I’ve added below can go in deeper shade.
Hope this helps
Kind regards vicky

Heuchera ‘Lime Marmalade’ (680)

RHS Malvern Spring Show 2019

Malvern Spring show was another great one, and saw us bringing home a gold! Here’s a few photos from the show, and that’s Richard up there peeping through the hanging baskets!

We will try and bring some hanging baskets to sell at the shows as they are proving to be quite popular among our customers.

Some of you may not follow us on Facebook, so we like to share our show photos on our blog as well when we can! If you do want to go give us a follow, it’s the first place you’ll get photos and information about new plants, you can do so here https://www.facebook.com/plantagogo.

We’re getting ready for RHS Chelsea next! So keep an eye out for some behind the scenes snaps on our social media.

Which Plants Will You Add to Your Garden?

With the weather getting nicer, we’re sure you’ve started taking stock on plants an colours you’d like to add to your collection, so here are a few we have available right now, ready to go to their new place in your garden!

Above is Tiarella ‘Appalachian Trail’ which is a great trailing variety, and also works a treat for ground cover as it spreads. Bright green leaves and frothy white flowers means bees love this one!

Heuchera ‘Tokyo’ has colour changing leaves, from what you see above to bright green with sprouts of red flowers.

If you’re after some bright bold colour, Heuchera ‘Zipper’ is your plant! Bright orange in the spring changing to a golden amber as the year goes on. It’s a versatile plant being able to adapt to shade, partial shade or even full sun.

Heuchera ‘Guacamole’ is a plant on a LARGE scale! It grows huge foliage with large white flowers that spring up and sway about in the summer and autumn.

Talk about some shine, Heuchera ‘Glitter’ actually seems to glitter in the sunlight with it’s silvery leaves and dark veining. It’s great at growing flowers too. Another versatile one being able to thrive in shade, partial shade or full sun.

Do any of these take your fancy? We are always adding new plants as they become ready to sell, so keep checking back!

Harrogate Spring Show 2019

Richard got the lucky job of staying at Harrogate show and holding down the stand while Vicky drove back and forth handling the nursery. It’s hard being in two places at once! But we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We have all you lovely customers to thank as well for your continued support, so thank you!

Here’s some photos from our setup at this years Harrogate spring show, and our lovely Premier Gold medal to add to our collection.

At many of our shows, don’t forget we offer a click and collect service. We unfortunately can’t bring all our plants, so if there’s something specific you’re wanting, this is a great option to make sure you get the plants you want to add to your garden.

You also save the postage bit, leaving you more money for more plants! When you go to checkout, just make sure it is an option at the show you plan on attending.
