Scenes From the Shade Path Garden

Here are some views of our Shade Path garden from the past couple of weeks. I love when it turns to this blue and white phase... so peaceful...
The Shade Path garden: Variegated Solomon Seal (Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum') in front of the blue flowers of Brunnera 'Jack Frost'.
View down the Shade Path this May... forget-me-nots (Myosotis), chartreuse inflorescence of Euphorbias, hosta, ferns and many others.

Our new Fothergilla bush is flowering this month, and goes so nicely with the Euphorbia!
This pretty patch work is of a lungwort (Pulmonaria) and a wood spurge (Euphorbia).
Tulip 'White Parrot'...Parrot tulips are known for their unusual markings and shape. It is a nice, frilly addition to the front of the sunny end of this garden that is mostly in shade.

    love your yard...
  • Thanks everyone! Marie- Shade gardens are so much fun to plant... truly. There are so many beautiful, low-maintenance plants for shade these days. Unless you have deer, hosta are probably the easiest thing to start with because they growing in many different types of light, soil and moisture. I hope you give your shade area a try!! I would love to see it!
