Three of the Best (w/c - 23/4/12)

(Clockwise from top left)  Forget-me-not - Delicate and vigorous at the same time, they are best left to seed around whereever they like. Seedlings are easy to identify, and pull out, where not wanted. Fern - Another shade-loving plant, some ferns, such as Polystichum setiferum, are also surprisingly tolerant of dry conditions. The unfurling of the fronds is always a delight and can best be enjoyed if planted near the front door. Bluebell - Always best in a natural woodland setting, but also a beautiful addition to any shady part of the garden. Needs space to roam and is usually too vigorous for a border.
