We have a patch in the garden that doesn't get a huge amount of sun. It's currently got a load of pulmonaria, but I'm so so sick of the mildew. I cut them right back but then the healthy leaves seem to get infected. Between the cut back pulmonaria and dead bluebells, that patch is very sad.
Can clever gardeners of MN recommend some other shade-liking plants for me to replace the pulmonaria with? I like things like ceonothus, lace cap hydrangeas, eucalyptus. I don't like things like that slugs like, but I can't face fighting them anymore.
Also: there seems to be some dead leaves on the soil atm - is that adding to the mildew problem? Should I leave the soil a good clear-out?
