Border Plants Summer 2005

We have a very shady border to the left of our garden which has been difficult to get things to grow in. These pictures show a couple of ferns and a lovely purple plant which seem to have thrived in these conditions. The BBC gardening website has a useful tool for finding plants that like certain conditions.

I aim to try and name all the plants you have seen so far for a record for myself which I think will be good to have. I am sure one of these ferns is called a lady fern...
