Plants for Shade
Crocus has an extensive selection of plants and shrubs suitable for growing in shade. Almost all gardens have areas of shade where gardeners need to plant shrubs and perennials which either prefer shade or are at least shade tolerant. Illustrated below are some Sunday Gardener's favourites suitable for shade. I have picked out the Hosta collection for their lush foliage. Skimmia Japonica, Geranium macrorrhizum and the shady pink collection.
Hosta collection
Ideal for a shady spotHosta always look stylish and Crocus has plenty to choose from including The Mixed Highgrove Hosta Collection.
Skimmia Japonica
Skimmia Japonica is an evergreen shrub which has attractive flowers followed by berries. It is ideal to grow in a border or container.
G. macrorrhizum
Geranium macrorrhizum is one of many Geraniums which will grow in full sun but also partial shade. Many shades and colours to choose from, a versatile easy to grow perennial.
Vinca Minor
Matt forming ground cover v. minor is less invasive and makes a carpet of blue in spring and early summer. Tolerant of most soil types and partial shade.
