Two plants for dry shade


Strobilanthes nutans
Strobilanthes nutans
A really nice change from the better known upright purple flowered species – this one trails over the ground and is seen at its best in a shady raised bed (or a hanging basket? Why not?) with it’s pure white, hop-like inflorescences dangling over the side.
Strobilanthes nutans
Hardy so far here and unusually classy.

Euonymus fortunei Wolong Ghost
Euonymus Wolong Ghost
Very different to other forms of fortunei in cultivation – this is a creeping/climbing plant with relatively narrow dark green leaves, the veins picked out in white.
Euonymus Wolong Ghost
Makes an excellent ground cover in dry shade
