A soft, layered woodland planting designed for the edges of a yard.
This garden works beautifully under trees, along fences, or near the house - anywhere light is filtered or partial. It combines evergreen structure with seasonal bloom to create a space that feels calm, grounded, and complete.
Structure and height
Goat’s beard × 1
Christmas fern × 4
Hellebores (Lenten rose) × 3
Mid layer
Coral bells × 3
Japanese anemone × 3
Filler
Woodland phlox × 2
Designed for a 4x4 ft area (shade to part shade)
Space plants roughly 10–14 inches apart
Place hellebores and ferns first (as anchors), and goat’s beard near the back
The phlox will weave in and around the other plants as it spreads
