Make a Flower Bed for the Shade

Annie
by Annie
Shady areas of your yard can look absolutely gorgeous is you create a flower bed. Using perennials means those plants should come back every year. Be sure to get plants that will survive your gardening zone.

Shade loving perennials are very beautiful and some are simply striking! Mix up your favourite shades of green and burgundy & let your imagination go a little wild.

Then, add some chairs and enjoy a nice cool place to sit in the summer afternoons.
Read here at Country Living in a Cariboo Valley to find out how I made this beautiful low maintenance flower bed for the shade.

    Creeping Jenny is invasive,why would you add that as ground cover? I will be doing this in our spring I have hostas that didn't do well in full shade so am putting by tree mostly shade but some sun. Hope this helps if not then I really do have no thumb! Who can kill this plant but me? Everyone claims so easy thats not my experience, I killed day lilies.
