Default Sun and shade

Here's a list of plants or shrubs that are recommended by a local tree
nursery for deep shade in this area. Do a search on google and you should
be able to find more info and pictures to see if you like them.

Aucuba japonica
Danae racemosa
Fatshedera x lizei
Fatsia japonica
Hedera helix
Leucothoe axilaris
Mahonia bealei
Nandina domestica
Pieris japonica
Rhododendron or Azalea

There are several different varieties of these plants, so make sure to ask
about all of them and their differences in size, color, etc. You should
also ask how much maintenance or inquire about any pests, disease
resistance, etc. before buying the plants. Most people want low maintenance
and disease resistance. Hope this helps.

I'd like to plant some shrubs in the front yard close to the house,
but that side faces north and the plants would be in sun only a month
or two during the summer. There's moss growing there now, so I'm not
sure exactly what kind of plant, if any, would survive in that
location. Has anyone had experience with something like this?

Thanks,

MAC
