Product Description
The easy blooms shade garden plan is a great introduction to gardening, containing six perennials and one shrub that will provide blooms from early spring to fall. Because shade-loving perennials usually don’t bloom as long as their sun-loving counterparts, the plants in this layout also have contrasting and interesting foliage, so the garden will look good during bloom gaps. The majority of plants in this shade garden plan are evergreen or semi-evergreen and will provide winter interest, especially in the warmer climate zones. These plants are all tough, low-maintenance, dependable, and deer-resistant, thriving in full shade. They prefer medium to moist organically-rich soil conditions and may need extra water on a dry site, in hot dry summers, and during their first summer.
This freestanding woodland bed design comes with rectangular and kidney-shaped options and its compact five foot by ten foot size keeps installation and maintenance manageable for busy people. Most of these plants should be readily available at retail nurseries and substitutes are provided for ones that may be harder to find. This plan is part of a series of easy blooms gardens for full shade, part sun, and full sun.
