Plants in Shade

These plants love to grow in the shade. They are happiest in full or semi shade and will thrive where others struggle.

Plants for shade can be year round evergreen shrubs like the Spotted Laurel (Aucuba japonica) which has beautiful bright variegated yellow and green foliage with beautiful red bright berries in autumn/winter.

The herbaceous perennials like the Hosta with beautiful blue flowers. The climbers like the Hydrangae petiolaris. The ground cover like the evergreen Vinca which also has beautiful blue or purple flowers.
