An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh confirms that flowers that do not need a lot of sunlight really exist, and here they are.

Thus, the shade is suitable for growing brunnera, the flowering of which begins in May and continues until the frost.

However, you should be prepared for the fact that in the shade the leaves of the plants will be monochromatic, because the expressiveness of their pattern is directly related to sunlight.

You can also plant astilbe in the shade to enjoy its flowering in the second half of summer.

A worthy option is ferns, which grow especially well in the shade. Finally, partial shade is also suitable for rhododendrons, which are loved by many.
