Planting and plants for Dry Shade

- The new serpentine path gives more scope for planting the new serpentine borders - in dry shade. Bunny gives advice on how to plant (soaking plants, ‘cubing’ or slitting the roots so that new root hairs are encouraged, watering in and mulching) plus recommends plants she finds good for dry shade. These include Martagon lilies (Lilium martagon ‘Orange Marmalade) Heuchera ‘Lime Marmalade, Hydrangea paniculata ‘Wim’s Red’, Persicarias, certain ferns and more. Surprisingly certain hydrangeas perform well in dry conditions - the ‘hydra’ part of their name is not because they love water as is often quoted but because the seed capsules resemble cups.
Bunny talks about choosing the style of planting - here she has gone for a more naturalistic style rather than blocks of planting. Even though its naturalistic planting there is still structure, a low serpentine Sarcococca hedge (S. hookeriana var ‘humilis) to add fragrans and definition during the winter months.

I love that pathway, it has such a strong character. I can't wait for the update once it's all filled in!
Nice little highlight, the little dog trotting down your lovely undulating path. You were right. So much more fun than a straight path.

Goodness I've learned more from this stunning woman in a couple of minutes than what I've learned in years from books.
Bunny I am waiting for your invite to come to you for training.
I could watch you all day - so much knowledge and experience. When can you come to my garden to give me advice? 😊
Thank you so much for your informative videos. I appreciate your plant knowledge and beautiful landscaping ideas .
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Some wonderful suggestions and explanations…and timely, too. This was a GREAT video episode!
“Not scare the neighbors” 😂
I have white martagon lilies from my childhood home that must be over 50 years old that still flower well. The scent , a strong, musky, one,reminds me of sneaking in very late on a saturday night/sunday morning as a teenager!! Love them.
Beautiful pathway and great advice. I hope you'll revisit this area in another video and it when it's in bloom - I've no doubt it will be stunning!!
Another inspirational and informative video. Thanks for taking the time to do them.
Bunny, this is exactly the gardening video that I enjoy ... packing in an established bed, using / propagating plants from other areas of your garden, naturalizing, and your doggie that follows the path :) All so lovely! Cannot wait to see it in a few weeks! Thank you!!!
I have 15’x25” strip that is full shade, zone 10b in Southern California . I’m struggling. It flips from looking too sparse to too sloppy. You have found the perfect balance. I’m going to study your plant suggestions and hopefully I can succeed as you have. You are such an inspiration. I just found your channel and I am enjoying it immensely. Thank you🌻💛🌻
Shady areas are a challenge. Pulling plants from similar areas where you have too many is solid advice. I've pruned roots on potted plants for years when transplanting. Friends freak out when they see me do it, but your logic is sound. Cutting back stimulates more growth. I wear old extra long flared jeans over leggings when I garden. The flare covers my boots (I need lace up work boots, and thank goodness I had them on yesterday when I stepped in a hole and sprained (rather than broke) my ankle) and keeps the dirt (and earwigs) out of my socks. Your little dog is darling. It was fun to watch him/her following the serpentine path. :)
I so love that pathway!! I never know how much to water...
Absolutely adored watching your pup meander down your new stone path! Great informative show.
That path meandering through looks stunning ❤❤
Beautiful, thank you, I’m inspired to go dig in the dirt!
I wish you would write a book and capture all this knowledge in one place. I have completely changed my (very amateur) ideas about gardens since starting to watch your videos several years ago - especially the ones about 'Thyme'. The best gardens I now recognize, are about hard landscaping, different materials, topiary, pots, small trees and shrubs - not flowers. Flowers are just a Sugar Rush. Sarah Ravens book (A Year full of Flowers) is good, but I am convinced you could do something far, far better. Needless to say, I enjoy and look forward to these videos!
I need bunny in my life….I’m still saving up 🥰
Thanks for all the information, I had recently tried using our willow and it was quite dry, I had not thought of soaking it in water, will now try again! Great video !
❤loved this !!!
Straight to the point advice is best.
What was also best was your lovely little dog all elegant walking down the long path behind you.
Such good advice across the board! I will soak my potted plants in a bucket until there are no bubbles going forward.
Brilliant advice both in plants and planting. Found myself nodding and mentally jotting down as you went along. 🦉
Thank you for wearing gloves. I can't believe anyone is truly at the task without them. ;)
I enjoy your videos.
I’m eager to watch this dry shade garden develop and bloom. I have a dry deep shade garden I’ve been working on with a lot of deer and rabbit pressure. I am waiting on an order of martigon lilies to arrive and may try them in this area…🤷♀️.
They might want a little more sun than what I can offer them.
WOW!!! That path is a dream!
Just beautiful.🤗
It is going to look stunning
So informative! Thank you very much!
Beautiful serpentine path I love it!
Stunning!
OMG love that path. And the planting advice is great, have my new plant shopping list prepared, lol.
My urban garden is 3m x 36m and east west facing. This is the best advice / plan I've ever seen. Thank you
Great video as always and very informative. What a wonderful garden it has everything you could ever want ❤
SO generous advice! Love Sarcoccocas I think they are underused. Your taste is divine.
Love the new pathway Bunny! If I didn't water my new plantings for a week or so, in my dry climate, I would have fried plants.😂
Lovely video
So love the t-shirt. Want one! :)
Hi Bunny, so glad I found your channel! Just wondered if there was an update on your shady beds please? I’m in Lincolnshire and have lots of dry shade areas to plant up so this video is so helpful. Thank you 😊
Love this, like all your
vidéos, and you! Perhaps in a future video you could expand on the difference between naturalistic and formal that you touched on here. Also, you mention drifts… I have a blank slate of a new garden to plant, and I love drifts, but how do you pull them off? Would appreciate a video on that!
So much info in 15 minutes, thanks Bunny. Love your little dog (Beetle?)
Beetle lives here, and Dolly, the mainly white, taller, slimmer one that never stops smiling, comes to work here each day with her owner. Dolly loves the camera, Beetle, who is more black and white, loathes the camera and any media attention! 🐰
Could you add a link to the summer and winter gardening trousers? 👖 They sound ideal!!
I would love to know where you buy your gardening trousers ! Path is looking great .
what do you recommend as mulch? I am in the south of france- cooler part in the ariege on clay and expecting three months of canicule (super hot drought) starting in june... I have put in loads of bare root roses and lavender and thinking about mulch..
Hi Bunny. Do you have an affiliate link for those gardening trousers pls? 👖 Thank you
Would love a video for planting. In wet shade and also what kind kf plants please
Bunny could you do a walk through video of your property ? How the areas flow and also with your drafting pictures? I'm trying to create a 10 acre property. Almost nothing but bald prairie but I have to admit I'm copying you a bit. For example I have rows of peonies so I'm creating a peony / lilac garden .
Zone 3 so no boxwood :(.
Thinking of miniature lilac to surround the peonies with dark purple lilacs scattered around the perimeter
Hey Bunny! Love your channel! Like a lot of Australians, my partner and I are planning a party with friends to celebrate the crowning of a new British King on May 6th. Not sure where your loyalties lie but I thought it may be a good theme at least for a few videos to mark the occasion. Cheers!
Bunny- I would love to know where you get the gardening pants that have knee pads built in. Can you share the name of the manufacturer? TU
