spring shade beds planted with mainly geophytes see in the fall, they are empty. From previous transplantation experience wiser, I add now no more plants, "because it is so empty," but wait until spring - when everything is full wiedr anyway. Visually, the beds are currently no special experience, but they see not messy, because many plants either completely recovered or are they grown so high. Work make the shade beds now no more. I sprinkle each autumn, some leaves on the surfaces and cut soon back in the spring, because many plants sprout as early as March.
In the photo above you can see a pretty hederifolium cyclamen, a rosette of Chrysosplenium macrophyllum, a leaved Golden Saxifrage and also Hepaticas and Epimedium protrude into the picture.
Some plants, such as Lamium maculatum this 'Pink Pewter' or right Corydalis cheilanthifolia drive, even now in late autumn more new leaves and thus bring color into the flower beds. The shown Corydalis is a particularly beautiful plant that casts bronze in spring and has yellow flowers.
The time of the ferns this is over. Except for the evergreen ferns such as Polystichum that until the spring green fronds bear, wither and decay, most with the first frost. You can dry your own fan but definitely leave, as some are stable and thus bring some structure into the otherwise empty shade beds.
