Full Shade Plants

Plants for Full Shade Gardens

Shade plants perform best when they receive less than four hours of direct sun per day.  Shade loving plants prefer morning and evening sun and also do well in dappled shade areas.  Plants for full shade thrive, when nurtured properly. The shady areas of your garden do not need to be dark and dreary as there are many options for plants that provide colorful blooms or foliage that will add interest and thrive in those locations.
