Which evergreen shrubs can I plant in the shady part of my garden

Here at Hayes Garden World our most asked questions are about what to plant in certain problem areas. Nearly everyone has a shady area of the garden so this video will give you some idea what to plant in that difficult spot. Unfortunately shady areas don’t tend to allow for a great display of flowers, but you can add interest with variegated or glossy foliage which reflects the light. If your problem corner is in deep shade for most of the day the variegated foliage may lose its variegation, but will regain it when it reaches a bit of sunlight.
We show you a good range of shrubs which will provide interest throughout the year and cover the whole area, from something to grow up a wall to a ground-covering Periwinkle for the front of the border. The Sarcocca is an excellent shrub for shade and produces the most amazing fragrance in winter when there is not much else of interest. It also makes a good alternative to Box for a parterre edging as it can be clipped to maintain its compact shape.
If your shady area is under deciduous trees then you can have a fantastic display of spring flowers, which take full advantage of the light before the tree bursts into leaf and the canopy closes over.

    a video I didn't know I needed until I watched it! :) thank you. I bought a Nandina last year and absolutely love it, it's so pretty. I potted it up in a decent size pot with normal compost and it seems to be doing okay. Would I be better off to repot with the eraceous compost or leave it as it is?

    Keep an eye on it and any signs of leaves wilting etc then re pot it. If all ok I’d repot it around autumn with ericaceous just as winter approaches, the plant should be a bit dormant then. Ps keep a look out for a Hydranga call ‘ Runaway Bride’ , not the big ball flowers but small flowers on every stem. Garland type. It was a Chelsea winner, stunning plant. We live up in NE Scotland and it flowers fine up here so looks like climate doesn’t affect it. Good video this.

    Ya, nandina, invasive AF! Camilia, messy, piracantha, PAINFUL! but will make anyone thinking about trespassing, rethink that and kalmia is beautiful but gets pretty big, sarcacocca has supper fragrant flowers, but are not very showy, in fact they are so small that their pretty nonexistent, but they are amazingly sweet smelling and when planted en-mass the smell is intoxicating, one of the first to bloom in spring, the air is saturated with a sweet fragrance that unless you know the plant- no one knows where its coming from because the flowers are so small

    You could grow vegetables in your garden? herbs? sprouts? fruits? I only saw two comments about these being poisonous and that is quite important for my situation. I'm planning to grow them in quite close vicinity to edible plants so there could be risk of contamination. I can guarantee both of your 2 sons have eaten plants, in fact there is a whole diet based on plants. I will let you research it.
