If your garden suffers from a lack of light you can learn to enjoy shade gardening if you understand shade-loving plants and their individual needs.
Creating a shade garden doesn't mean you are limited to a monochromatic color scheme. Shade tolerant plants come in a wide range of colors, textures, and forms that can brighten up any landscape. |
Hosta
