The Chatham For-get-me-not, Large clusters of sky blue flowers appear in mid Spring amongst the dark green highly glossy Hosta-like deeply veined leaves. Given a good thick collar of well rotted manure in Autumn this plant will reward you lots of joy for many years to come.
Good ground covering plant in with attractive fern-like foliage , very long flowering, looks well with Hostas, likes moist leafy compost. Silver grey foliage with clusters of cream tear drop shaped flowers.
A superb cross which produces large blue flowers in abundance from spring to autumn. Grow with broad leafed shade plants like Hosta, cutting them back in early summer will keep them more compact and improve flowering.
Good healthy dense clumps of Astilbe-like foliage, not as tall as the species and very showy clouds of white frothy flowers on arching stems in early Summer. Good yellow-orange Autumn tints. Aruncus are very garden worthy clump-forming long lived perennials, generally very easy to grow in any conditions from shade to sun. Good neighbours are e.g. Hosta, Geranium phaeums and as a ground cover Ajuga.

The Woodland Anemone is one of the most delightful early spring woodland plants, it spreads with fleshy rhizomes just below the surface, appears in early spring with lovely cup shaped flowers. They are summer dormant, so plant under shrubs and trees with Hosta, Ferns and other late flowering shade-lovers.

Clumps of very fine slender arching leaves, very graceful, looks well with Hosta and Ferns.
Long arching delicate fronds which have a skeletal appearance, good contrast to broad leafed plants like Hosta.
Very neat broad vase-shaped habit with black stems. Useful as a bold specimen fern in the shade garden, growing well with Hosta and other cool shade loving plants.
