A dark plot shouldn't mean you can't bring your cottage garden dreams to life, if you long for meadow-y garen border, filled with texture and glorious pinks and purples. What you need are some shade-loving wildflowers that will thrive in low lighting.
Filling your plot with a mix of shade-loving wildflowers and cottage garden plants for shade not only captures the relaxed, organic feel of a cottage garden but also brings plenty of colour and character to an often overlooked shady spot.
