Plants that Realy Love the Shade

Some plants love the more shady parts of your garden. Below you'll find a list of those perennials. Within those 'groups' there are sometimes varieties which desire a different exposure, so check the plants tag or ask us for details. We also experienced that red or purple leafed varieties of Coral Bells show a deeper color (less 'green') when exposed to full sun.
