Shady character

This collection of shade-lovers combines attractive foliage with plants that flower in shade. Thanks to the foliage, this basket will look good soon after planting and will continue to do so even when the flowers fade in autumn. The fern, hosta and tiarella can all be replanted in shady parts of the garden or into pots for next year. The pelargonium can be potted up, cut back and kept somewhere frost-free for next spring.
