Today's video is all about planting a small colourful tropical or jungle style garden border with plants that can cope with shade, I had a small North-facing area to plant up and hope my tough, hardy, mostly evergreen and low maintenance plant choices help or inspire you too. I use plants like Heucheras, Hostas and Ferns to create a border that'll look colourful all year round, adding to the tropical effect without using a lot of fussy or tender plants. After this I've got an update on my massive Gunnera Manicata plants and a quick look at the differences between Gunnera Manicata and Tinctoria.
