Shade Loving Plants

Not all plants need sunlight to thrive. If you have a nice gardening spot in the shade, you have a lot to choose from. Perennials like Hostas, Coral Bells, Astilbe and Bleeding Hearts grow well without direct sunlight. There are many evergreens, like a variety of Aucuba trees with large waxy green leaves, some with bright yellow spots. One of our favorites is Rainbow Leucothoe with delicate white blooms in the spring and new growth that appears in pinks and whites. These are reliable perennials that you see in yards and gardens all over this region. They tolerate shade well and serve as a nice backdrop for other brightly-colored flowering plants. Be sure they have good drainage, and they’ll be fully mature in four to eight years.
