shade garden foundation plants
hi all,
I have been lurking around here for a while and am hoping that someone may be able to make some suggestions. We have an area at the back of our yard which is quite heavily shaded by three chinese elm trees and a privacy fence and is currently barren of all plant forms. I am wanting to create a shade garden in this area and already have an idea of shade loving perenials that i can use. I would like to plant some shrubs/evergreens? as a backdrop. What shrubs would thrive in these conditions?( I would like to use some of the juniper shrubs but am doubtful that they would do well) We are in the texas panhandle (zone 6B)and have alkaline clay soil though I have added a considerable amount of compost and well rotted manure in preparation for planting. Any sugestions would be greatly welcomed Sarah |
