Shade Loving Plants

We stock a wide range of plants that tolerate or prefer shady and sheltered conditions.

These plants range from plants that grow in submerged or aquatic environments, through boggy or moist soils to regular woodland type plants.

Many have attractive flowers or foliage and the range should include something suitable for most shaded gardens.
