Plants/Shrubs for NW corner, no direct sun

Loire · 2017-09-25 14:11:51

Hi, I have a small arc in my driveway at the corner facing NW. I have hedging on both side walls and the area left in the arc is just grass. I would like to plant some plants/shrubs but this corner doesn't get any direct sunshine. I appreciate I probably won't get any nice colours but would like something nicer than grass…

Hi,

I have a small arc in my driveway at the corner facing NW. I have hedging on both side walls and the area left in the arc is just grass. I would like to plant some plants/shrubs but this corner doesn't get any direct sunshine. I appreciate I probably won't get any nice colours but would like something nicer than grass all the same with cover all year round. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Loire.

Is it moist shade or dry shade?

I'm not sure sorry! It's grass based about a kerb higher than the driveway.

If it was damp, I'd go for ferns but the attached link has suggestions that may help depending on the size of the area, the height you want in the plants etc.
