 Plants for shade part nine. There have been a number of native species among these entries but the majority are introductions from other parts of the world. Gardeners and horticulturalists have long sought out species that adapt well to UK conditions. 
  Then again we shouldn't overlook the plants that have been here all along. I always try to include the likes of Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris), Primrose (Primula vulgaris) and Sweet Woodruff (Gallium odoratum) in a shady garden.
