what to plant
the alliums are gone, extending the flower power in that spot. I also like them with large ferns, and find they tolerate a bit of shade so long as the ground isn't soggy. Pretty with paeonies and also roses. The world's your oyster really. Thanks for your by Aliesh

asparagus
there was no sign from them, but by August there was signs that all were still there. The spears were very small and spindly and turned to fern almost immediately. But then we did have a cool summer last year. So don't dispair, they may still be there, but just slow by sally edwards

Hello,  The curb between my house and road is woodlandy - 3 lime trees and 1 copper beech, with holly and laurel shrubs, the odd fern plus ivy ground cover (and until recently nettle and bramble).  I'm wanting to add in a few plants to brighten by Supernoodle

What is this?
had it mixed in with some ferns and hostas which looked quite effective. Some sort of rush, often appears in poorly drained pots of compost and low bits in the garden. I'll have a look and see if I can do a complete ID   I'm pretty sure it's Juncus by Nicky Dewfall

pond plants
marginal? Ferns and marsh marigolds (Caltha palustris) are good at water's edge. I had both at previous pond- a small waterfall which brought the water supply in from a spring had both of those beside it and we had dwarf weeping willows and a cotoneaster by Leslie Longstaff
