There are many plants with delicate foliage that burn in the sun, so a shady wall provides ideal conditions. These include climbers, evergreens, and delicately scented flowers for all months of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a little planning, you can transform your north-facing wall into a lush tropical rainforest or a scented oasis full of soft, textured greens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7534\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7534\" class=\"wp-image-7534 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/fatsia-japonica.jpg\" alt=\"The jungle foliage of evergreen Fatsia Japonica on north facing wall.\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7534\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luscious jungle foliage with Fatsia Japonica.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Let\u2019s Talk Budgets\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planting a new border can be costly. You don\u2019t have to splash out on large plants if the cost is prohibitive, greenery tends to grow quickly with enough water and patience can save you money.\u00a0 On the other hand, if you\u2019ve been looking at a wall for years and you\u2019re fed up with it we specialise in mature plants with a big impact &#8211; no wait required. Whatever your budget the planting scheme will stay the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Aim<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because flowers are in shorter supply you aim to create layers of different greens with lots of different shapes.\u00a0 If you have a long north-facing wall try to repeat your planting to create a natural flow that holds the eye.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prepare the Soil<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start to plant anything take a look at your soil. Chances are it\u2019s dry and lacking in nutrients. Dig in plenty of organic matter and remove stones or weeds. This will give your new leafy plants the best start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Back of the Wall<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The back of your border needs height.
