Default What is the best plant to grow in shade?

I need to know, because all year I've had a garden bed I made between a
few trees in my yard. And nothing will grow. I didn't realize how
important the sun actually is. But is there anything I can grow in my
garden?



I advise you to plant: Hosta plantaginea, Aquilegia, Convallaria
majalis, Corydalis, Cimicifuga, Lathyrus, Luzula, Omphalodes verna,
Pachysandra terminalis, Polygonatum...


I love my firespike, tropical looking all summer - then cool red blooms!
Dies down with the freeze but comes back in spring.

Also, consider having the trees thinned and the crowns raised. It helped
my back yard a LOT.
