Plants, variety found in shady ground (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hydrangeas

'plants' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'variety found in shady ground' is the wordplay.
'variety' becomes 'range' (range can mean a wide variety).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'shady' is an anagram of 'hydas'.
'range' going within 'hydas' is 'HYDRANGEAS'.

(Other definitions for hydrangeas that I've seen before include "Flowering plants; ashy garden (anag.)" , "Garden shrubs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
