Shady border, drought collection

A collection of plants for dry shady borders^. Unfussy and drought tolerant, they will need little attention apart from watering in year one as they establish. It includes shrubs for structure and flowering plants that provide colour all year round. You can create different colour themes by changing the plants that die back each year. Shrubs are best planted in autumn or spring and perennial flowering plants are best planted in spring, once the worst of the winter weather has passed.
