I have a woodsy corner of the garden beneath olives, and was
wondering if there are any good flowers for summer color.
I have tall campanulas (Campanula persicifolia) that do well in shade
- mine are mostly medium blue, but I also have some that are dark
blue, white, and white rimmed with blue.
I also have fuchsias and roses that bloom all summer in shade, but
they are in areas that I water occasionally so would probably not be
suitable for your olive grove.
