The Shade Garden - Part 2

Those are very pretty Heucheras aren't they? Not surprised you came home with a trolleyful you naughty lady...
The mix of colours in the border is very effective.

They are lovely plants, Heucheras. Look at all the different shades on one plant (the first pic) , amazing!
I also have a few Heucheras planted under a nd around my Acer. They look good together in a part shady area!

You will love the Acer Orange Dream lovely blog some lovely Heuchera s you have to

I love shady ladies. tiarella and heucherella are some of my favs

Thanks Stera, lol I'm terrible aren't I.

Paul, the colours are amazing aren't they. My neighbour has a similar one in her front garden, but a lighter more caramel colour. I can't help but have a peek every time I walk past lol. Heucheras and Acers do look great together don't they.

Thanks 3D, I'm already loving it.

Thanks SBG, they're some of my favourites as well. So good for adding a bit of light and interest to a shady spot.

Wonderful choices... the newly planted area looks really nice.. well done !

Thanks Terra :-)

Looking good, especially from that garden seat, I imagine.

Thanks Siris. It is a good spot to see if from that chair. You basically see that last photo - love it :-)

I bought 3 Acers in the Autumn plant sales last year.
This is a good idea to keep watching for Heucheras that will bond with them later on.

Excellent view, love the Hebe Frozen Flame.

Thanks Diane.

Thanks Siris. Fantastic colour in the hebe isn't it. They had another one that was even nicer, but it wasn't Hardy.

What gorgeous plants you have bought and they look so lovely in the newly planted bed.
Very pretty indeed, hope to see more of what you create in your garden.

Thanks Wildrose, the more mature planting is already filling in some of the gaps - must confess I'm slightly surprised how big the hosts has got lol. I'd swear it was half the size last year lol.

I'm still playing catchup Sam but had to say what a difference you have made to your shady spot and the border, I too love Heuchera's, and Hosta's, most of mine started out in pots, however I had to split them because of overcrowding so now have placed some in the ground, so far so good, I think once you start collecting them you are automatically drawn each time you see a new one, it does become an addiction, my Acers I have in pots, keep them near the bottom pond and they are thriving in the dappled shade, also protected if it gets a tad windy..

Thanks Lincs. It's amazing how much it's filled in already, plus the begonias I've added, I'm really happy with it now.

They are addictive aren't they, so many different colours and patterns. Plus point in the ground they're less likely to get eaten by the dreaded vine weevils.

I bet your acers look great by the pond.
