THE SHADE GARDEN
|
| Some folks lament having too much shade - not having the space for the bright color you get from the sun-loving plants. The way a sunny border jumps out and grabs your attention is nice indeed. |
|
| But don't overlook the depth and richness of a well-designed and cared for shade garden. The shade garden will draw you in - it invites intimacy. The greens (which is the predominant color in most all gardens) are deeper and cooler. The blend of shapes, textures, and shades are more pronounced without the glare of the sun. |

Don't think there's not an opportunity for color! Astilbes and Bleeding Heart come in some pretty vivid colors. Aruncus (Goatsbeard) though white is an impressive shade dweller. Of course, if you're dealing with light shade - 2 to 4 hours of sun early in the day - there's a whole range of possibilities. Check out our part sun list. |

We have expanded our offering of nursery grown native wildflowers. Check them out early cause they usually go fast. We have a variegated cultivar of Solomon's Seal that will grow into a nice size patch |  |
