Woodland Perennials: A-E

Most gardeners have some shade, and more gardens have nothing but shade. In general, shade plants grow best in light to moderate shade, and most benefit from some sun in early morning.

Few plants will do well in heavy shade with competition from tree roots. Consider raising or thinning tree branches to improve the quality of shade and air circulation.

Remember that trees take a lot of water and nutrients from the soil, so supplemental watering and fertilizing will be required. The best results will be achieved by creating raised beds with logs or rocks, filled with a mix of coarse sand, soil, and organic matter.
