What are the best plants for shaded gardens?

Some great options for shaded gardens include hostas, ferns, and astilbes. Do you have a specific type of shade in mind?

Yes, I have a mostly dry shade area under a large tree.

In that case, consider plants like Japanese forest grass, hellebores, or even some types of sedum. They thrive in dry shade!

Are there any flowering plants that do well in dry shade?

Absolutely! You might like to try bleeding heart or toad lily, both of which can add beautiful blooms to your shaded area.

How do I care for these plants in a shaded area?

Ensure they receive adequate water, especially during dry spells, and mulch around them to retain moisture. Regularly check for pests too!
