<p>Gardening in a shady site is not straightfoward. Plants rely on sunlight to photosynthesize and produce the energy they need to grow. Luckily there are many species which have adapted to low light levels, growing under the canopy of woodland trees, and which can make a lovely hedge for a shady garden.</p>
<h4>Plant size:</h4>
<p>Once you have selected the plant you are interested in, you will see that we offer several sizes - and give not only the height of the plant but also the age. Those marked "1/1" are two year old plants, and for some varieties we are able to offer older three year old plants -marked "1/2". You may be able to find plants offered for sale online which are the same height, but they can just be 1 year old plants which have been raised from seed. Our plants are grown on to ensure they have an excellent root system, so they establish quickly and give your hedge the best possible start. You may be able to buy cheaper, but we don't think you can buy better!</p>
