Transform that shady corner of your yard into a lush, inviting place for relaxation, reflection, and recreation. Neglected nooks, abandoned side yards, and barren tree-lined landscapes can be transformed into shady retreats with beautiful, brilliantly hued flowering and foliage plants. A shady outdoor space can be just as colorful as any sunny spot.
Tips for preparing your Shade Garden:
Enrich the soil with peat moss, shade plants love rich soil
Fertilize, fertilize, fertilize. Shade plants are heavy feeders because most of the ground is starved from nearby trees
Play with color, not all shade gardens have to be green and white
The top Shade Garden Standouts:
Heuchera
Astilbe

You can also plant a shade container. You can place it under any tree where the ground doesn’t get much sunshine.
