Yes, it’s true, you can get bright colored blooms, even with full shade plants. And because fewer weeds plague shady gardens, these leafy retreats usually need less maintenance. So embrace the nook and crannies of your garden that are free of sunlight, and start planting some shade-loving plants. Some of our favorites shade perennials are Toad lily, Japanese primrose, and Lady’s mantle. Favorite full shade plants and shrubs include the French hydrangea, Gardenia, and Boxwood.
