Four Shade Garden Plants

Consult the following list of four shade garden plants the next time you find yourself searching for the perfect shade loving plant.

Black Eyed Susan

This plant is extremely popular because of its beautifully contrasted black and yellow blossoms. The black eyed susan is adapted to grow in full or partial shade. Planting this flower under trees accents the tree trunk.

Umbrella Plant

This plant is well suited to live in the shady and moist areas of your garden. It has stunning thin leaves which cascade in a circular pattern from several stems, which makes it resemble an umbrella. The umbrella plant prefers to live in damp soil, so be sure to supplement it with water during the summer.

Butterfly Lily

This striking perennial plant is well suited to live in humid, damp and shaded environments. The butterfly lily prefers to live in warmer climates. Therefore, you should not plant this in your garden if you live in a frosty climate.

Christmas Rose

This beautiful blooming perennial plant is well adapted to surviving in shade. For brighter and larger blossoms, plant the Christmas rose under a deciduous tree to allow the plant to receive direct sunlight.
