Made in the Shade
As someone who has grown more than 1,000 different kinds of plants in the shade over the last 17 years, choosing just a handful to recommend is a daunting task. I’ve finally settled on a baker’s dozen of perennials, that I simply could not live without in my shade garden, to share with you here.
These perennials all have one very important trait in common — they won’t spread with reckless abandon or take over your garden. When space is at a premium and you’d like to fit in as many shade loving plants as possible, that is a very important characteristic to consider.
You may see some familiar faces here, like hostas and ferns, but I’ve also included a few perennials that have not yet had their moment in the spotlight in hopes that they will become more widely grown. Several garden-worthy natives also made the list. Pick one or two to expand your palette of shade-loving plants this season and you just might find your new favorite perennial.
