Q: What can I plant in the shade?
A: There are countless flowering plants and shrubs that thrive in shady locations. Hostas, yews and ferns are only three of our favourites. Without the space here to list them all, the best advice we can give you is to look at the labels and tags that come with most plants you buy. A lot of time and energy goes into this information. Often symbols are used to conserve space on the tag. Look for a half sun or a blacked in circle indicating a shade tolerant plant. An open image of sun indicates that it thrives in full sunshine.
