These Flowers Do Better in a Shady Garden Than in the Sun: Here's What to Plant in a Low-Light Flowerbed
Almost every area has places where you can relax in the shade from the scorching sun.
For these areas, there are flowers that grow better in the shade than in the sun. These plants will add beauty and a special atmosphere to the place.
But first, you need to understand how dense the shadow is on the site. For example, tree branches and foliage let in some light, while the northern wall of the house blocks it completely.
Broadleaf hydrangea is suitable for areas with dense shade. Hostas (green-leaved and white-edged) can be planted along the edges. Gardeners send elecampane to the darkest corner.
To prevent the tree trunk circle from being filled with weeds, you can plant flowers. Periwinkles take root well under them. The plant is unpretentious, does without additional feeding and is content with moderate watering.
Several species can be placed under the tree at once. Then you will get a spectacular green carpet, blooming with blue and purple.
A burgundy primrose will be a bright addition to a shady flowerbed. Another option for areas deprived of light is a fern. These plants outlived the dinosaurs and feel great in the shade.
Lovers of unusual and beautiful plants will appreciate columbine. The unpretentious perennial is also known under the names of catchment, eagle, bell. Partial shade is suitable for columbine. In a sunny area, the plant quickly fades, and in full shade it grows slowly.
