Many people find shady borders to be problematical to plant.
However, if you have dappled or partial shade, or a north-facing border then you may be surprised by the range of plants you can grow. The planting plan below gives a scheme for a north-facing border, with no direct sunlight in autumn, winter and spring, but plenty of reflected light. In summer, it receives one or two hours of sunlight at the end of the day. It is backed by a 6' high panel fence, which is covered with climbers. The colour scheme is mixture of green, golden and variegated foliage with yellow and white flowers with the odd splash of magenta.
