Plants for the Shade
One of the most common challenges in the landscape is finding the appropriate plants to grow in shade. Either the existing landscape has matured with growing large, or people find themselves in a new home with a lot of shade.
 The good news is that there are plenty of plants, including annual, perennial and woody that will thrive in shade. Our website has guides for shade loving woody plants, or a quick stop at the garden center service desk will get you some fact sheets on these plants. Growing plants in shade requires some changes in routine. Because plants usually grow slower in shade and do not receive so much sun, avoiding over-watering is important. Also, many shade plants are acid-loving in their soil needs, so addressing this at planting is important. Below are some of the most popular shade loving plants for the home landscape.
Trees: Hemlock, Serviceberry (tree-form), Hornbeam, (American or European), Flowering Dogwood, Umbrella Pine, Sweetbay Magnolia, Sullivan Cypress, Redbud, Beech, Japanese Maple, Ohio Buckeye, Fringetree, Silverbell, Hop Hornbeam, Sourwood, Stewartia, Snowbell.
Shrubs: Bottlebrush Buckeye, Beautyberry, Sweetshrub, Redtwig Dogwood, Daphne, Burning bush, Fothergilla, Witchazel, Hydrangea sp., some Hollies, Sweetspire, Kerria, Leucothoe, Spicebush, Mahonia, Pieris, Rhododendron, Blueberry, Viburnum.
