Summer is a prime time for ordering seeds and, given the radical change from a sunny allotment to a poplar wood, I am looking at stuff which is utterly unfamilar to me. My (vague) theory consists of planting things which increase in height as summer wears on, in an attempt to outrun the grasses (and weeds).....so, early spring is easy (lots of little treasures) but towards July, I am looking for much taller, vigorous perennials which can tolerate shade. Although the soil is dry, the water table is high (practically on top of the Yare river) and plants grow lush and tall here. So, anyone for this lysimachia? Or L.atropurpurea? Epilobium angustifolium album? I expect my queries will arrive with tedious regularity.....but then again, I find gardeners love talking about plants almost as much as growing them.....so please indulge this (opinionated despite knowing bugger-all )woodland novice.
From seed - easy? long? failure and attrition rates (mine seem to hover around 30% in good years but can creep up to 50% at times) ? disease prone? delicate or tough?........all those vital issues......
