Not sure what to plant in shade? Then follow nature’s lead, says Carol Klein, as she selects fabulous plants adapted to low light
What to plant: There are different degrees of shade and different kinds of shade. The dappled shade created by a dainty tree, such as a silver birch, apple or Cercidiphyllum, is a vastly different proposition to a place where no direct sunlight can penetrate, such as the north side of a tall fence or building. In truly dense shade, few flowers will grow and the go-to plants are ferns. In such places you can create a sea of green, relying heavily on texture, shape and form, using ferns in all their amazing diversity.
