Mary’s Tips and Ideas

Here is a list of annuals and perennials
that grow well in different types of
shade.

● Light shade: Hostas, lungwort, bigroot
geranium, ajuga, and bleeding heart.

● Partial shade: Meadow rue, blood
sorrel, mirror plants, Japanese forest
grass, and elephant ears.

● Filtered shade: Begonias, Japanese
barberry, carpet bugle, coleus, and
hydrangeas.

● Full shade: Impatiens, hemlock, lenten
rose, spotted deadnettle, leopard
plants, and yew bushes.

This depends on the trees and different
levels of shade in your yard. Now is the
time to prepare for planting.
