Made in the shade...


...and a little bit of sun, too. Try these low maintenance perennials that can take a partly sunny to shady spot.
Blue Hostas and burgundy and chartreuse Huechera enjoy the dappled shade lent by a Japanese Maple tree and a River Birch clump. The graceful foliage of the Japanese Forest Grass ‘Aureola’ becomes a bright spot nestled between low-growing Epimedium and Lamium. These plants appreciate water but won’t wilt when there is a lack in the summer months.
