What is the best plant to grow in shade?
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. Carl -- to reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) Hello, I don't know this plant very well, Odontonema didn't growing in yards in Poland, maybe cause for he's small popularity? In Central Europe to shade we recomend Hosta and Bergenia plants. They are evergreen so you can enjoy this perrenial plants even when winter comes You wrote that you wan't to plant some trees. Maybe good is Salix? This is a popular inoculate on bole tree in Europe. Look for some fotos on google of Salix caprea variety 'Kilmarnock' or 'Weeping Sally'. Sorry first: for my English but I'm still learning this language and second: for this latin names but I don't know how to say in english this species. This is good opportunity to train Post Scriptum I don't understand what do you mean with this changing ..not to .net? Best regards, Ralf. |

You don't say where you live or what sort of plants you are looking for, but
in general, rainforest plants do well in the shade (unless it gets very cold in your area). Judanne "CoreyWhite" wrote in message ups.com...

(It is one of many attractive plants I can't grow where I live.) Sorry first: for my English but I'm still learning this language I admire you for learning English. You do it well enough to communicate. and second: for this latin names but I don't know how to say in english this species. This is good opportunity to train It would be much better if we all used the Latin names. English common names are not always the same from one area to another and can be confusing.

Those are instructions for correcting the address. I have similar instructions in my signature. On topic: I have Corydalis lutea, Geranium macrorrhizum, Polygonatum odoratum 'varigatum', various Hosta, and Epidmedium growing well in my very shadiest areas. Also Uvularia grandiflora and Hepatica acutiloba, two native Michigan plants. The Corydalis is the longest blooming plant in my garden every year, with flowers from early May through October always. This year I had one plant still flowering on the first day of December! -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
