What shrub for semi shade border ?
Red twigged dogwoods do very well and are fast growing. They are my personal favourites as I enjoy the red branches in winter and the variegated leaves in summer add a bit of brightness to a shady area.
Honeysuckle shrubs, lilacs and some members of the larger growing Spireas (Bridal Wreath for example) adapt to semi-shade and grow fairly fast.
The yew has a tendency to be a very slow grower, but the Hick's variety makes a great evergreen border once mature as it's growth tends to remain upright as opposed to out.
I have a European Spindle Tee which belongs to the winged euonymous family and it does well in semi-shade. It grows taller, but I trim it once yearly to keep it's shape.
Reply:Rhododendrons are great fro semi shade and the Japanese Maple tree.
