20+ Plants That Thrive in the Shade.

Do you have an area of your garden that sits in the shade? So do I. This can be a real challenge to get some variety going.
Never fear. I have assembled my collection of my favorite plants that I have growing, some in full shade with great success.
These pictures are only a few of them. Be sure to visit my website to see more than 20 great shade plants

This ostrich fern is about 3 feet wide and faces a north exposure that gets very little sunlight.
