Plants for Shade

Shady spots, whether created by tree canopies, sun-blocking walls, or an overhead structure, can be too dark and cool for some garden favorites. But there are many colorful plants that will thrive in less light. You can find a wide selection of foliage colors and variations in a range of sizes from ground cover to good size trees that flower beautifully. Many shade-loving plants flower in late fall, winter and early spring, giving you color and bloom when most perennials are dormant.
