Experts advise to purchase plant seedlings only in specialized and trusted stores.
Hosta is a decorative and deciduous perennial plant. Hosta bushes are brightly colored. They can be blue, green, gray with a contrasting border or stripes of a lighter color.
Bushes are planted in partial shade, in places protected from the wind. Bushes cover a large area of the earth around them with their foliage. By this they suppress the growth of weeds and almost do not need to loosen the soil. The hosta is a disease resistant shrub, but it is susceptible to frequent attacks by slugs and snails.
Hosta can be planted not only in open ground, but also in wide pots, decorating uncomfortable corners of the garden with them.
A perennial plant, in which the ground part dies off for the winter. Feels comfortable in the shade and tolerates high soil moisture. There are about 400 species. Their size varies from 15 to 400 cm.
The plant begins to bloom in July, flowering lasts 25-35 days. Flowers are collected in panicle-shaped inflorescences 10-60 cm high. Colors are also different, but white, pink, purple and red astilbes look the most attractive.

The peduncle grows up to 1.5 m tall. The flowers on it are small, collected in inflorescences, similar to panicles.
The bush is moisture-loving, and if the soil is sufficiently moist, then it tolerates bright sunlight, but it is still better to plant it in partial shade. It tolerates frost well without shelter. Astilboides are fed 2-3 times per season with organic fertilizers. Doesn't need a transplant for years. The old foliage is cut off.
An unusual and beautiful plant of the Compositae family, which will decorate any suburban area or garden. Buzulnik blooms with bright yellow-orange inflorescences that attract attention.

The plant is unpretentious in care. It can grow in one place for 15-20 years. Although it is resistant to cold, gardeners insulate it for the winter. Propagated by dividing the bush, cuttings and through the seed.
The main advantage of this herbaceous plant is its bright and varied palette of foliage. Its leaves come in the most unpredictable colors, such as gray, white or cream, purple, brown or red.
Most varieties of geyhera have a presentable appearance, from early spring to late autumn. Often the first snow that falls covers the plant along with the foliage. Gardeners love geykhera not only for its beauty, but also for its unpretentious care and shade tolerance. If the bush grows on good soil, then it does not need top dressing, it is resistant to pests and diseases.

If faded brushes are cut from the bush, then the flowering period increases.
This herbaceous shrub got its name due to its insecticidal properties. Another name for the shrub is Silver Candles, it best describes the beauty of the plant.
The height is 1-2 m. In dwarf varieties, 60 cm. The foliage is pinnately divided burgundy or green. The bush blooms with long thin inflorescences-candles 20 cm high. The inflorescence consists of tiny white flowers with stamens, this creates the effect of lace and translucency.
Often used in modern trends in landscape design.
The genus Kupena consists of more than 50 species. Most often in nature they are found in the lowland forests and mountains of the Northern Hemisphere. The plant has a curved stem with bright green leaves arranged in two rows. Flowers hang from the leaf axils.
Outwardly, the kupena is similar to the lily of the valley, but this is not surprising, because they are from the same Lily family. Therefore, kupena is sometimes called a deaf lily of the valley. These pretty bushes have medicinal properties. With their help, cardiovascular diseases and back pain are treated.
Ferns are found in almost every climate, ranging from coniferous forests to the tropics. Thanks to the structure of their branches, which are called fronds, ferns look quite elegant.
This eye-catching plant attracted even our ancestors, who saw in it something magical and bewitching. Many myths and legends have been retold about ferns. But today gardeners use it as an ornamental plant in their flower beds and gardens.
When planting a fern on the site, the main thing is to choose the right place for it, darkened and moist.
Rogersia is a large perennial, belongs to ornamental and deciduous plants. There are 8 species in the genus, whose homeland is Japan and China.
It blooms with white paniculate inflorescences, reaching 120 cm during this period. The leaves are palmate-lobed. When caring for this perennial, you need to not only water and feed it, but also clean the curtain from leaves and stems that have died.
Having planted Rogersia on his garden plot, the owner will immediately note her dominance in the flower garden.
This is a beautiful flower with a diameter of about 3-8 cm, usually two or three colors. The most common colors are white, yellow, pink, blue, blue and purple. Flowering period May-July.
Reproduction occurs by dispersing seeds, and seedlings dive and transplant to a permanent place. They are not propagated by division, as adult plants do not tolerate transplants well.
The flower is planted both in the shady corners of the site, and under the sun. Aquilegia tolerates any soil well, but develops best on loose, sandy soils with sufficient moisture.
These flowers bloom beautifully, forming picturesque thickets. Their leaves retain their decorative appearance from early spring to the first snows in autumn. They endure winter easily, without any preparation. Grow quickly.
The flowers of the bush are large, about 4-5 cm in diameter. The leaves are deeply dissected. In spring and summer they are green, and in autumn they are red or red-orange.

Gardeners love the perennial, shade-tolerant hydrangea flowers for their beautiful, long-lasting blooms that begin in spring, continue through summer, and end in late fall. A garden in which hydrangea blooms will not be inconspicuous, as the color scheme of the plant's inflorescences is diverse, ranging from cream to blue and red.
Bush varieties of hydrangeas grow up to 1-3 meters in height. Lianoid varieties reach 30 meters. Also, the plant can be evergreen or deciduous.
Interesting to know! The color of large-leaved hydrangea depends not only on its variety. It varies depending on the pH of the soil and the amount of aluminum in it.
To achieve lush greenery and bright flowering in the shady flower garden, you need to properly care for the plants.
Most of the shade-loving species require abundant moisture. They especially need watering in late spring, when hot weather begins. Plants are watered without waiting for them to wilt.
All plants, except wild ones, also need periodic fertilizing with fertilizers. It is also important to loosen the soil, because then the inhabitants of the shady garden will be able to more easily absorb moisture from the soil.
A variety of flower beds are collected from shade-loving plants. Multi-level plantings and island flower beds are popular. When planting shrubs and flowers, adhere to the scheme. On 1 square meter, plant no more than 10 ground cover bushes, 5 medium-sized, 7 undersized and 3 tall plants. Then the flower bed will not only look harmonious, but the shrubs will also feel good.
Shade-loving plants are in demand among gardeners. This is because they are perennial and will delight the owners with bright colors for more than one year with minimal and uncomplicated care.
On any personal or suburban area there will certainly be shady places. And you want to decorate them no worse than the central flower beds and front alleys. With an illiterate approach to this issue, we often create unviable “beautiful pictures”, which subsequently turn into a headache for the owners, a source of their constant concern for the fading life of plants weakening from lack of sun. Desperate, we lay these areas with tiles or bashfully cover the view of these territories. In the meantime, there is a large enough selection of perennial shade-loving garden flowers that will enliven these difficult areas and make them attractive, interesting and, most importantly, viable.
Any plants need sunlight - this is the principle of their vital activity, their biochemistry. However, they all need it differently. One needs it bright and open, for others soft, diffused is preferable. Plants that have learned to get by with reflected light, tolerate shading, are called shade-tolerant. And there are those for whom open sunlight is destructive, they feel much better in the shade. They are classified as shade-loving. It is these crops that are recommended to be planted in secluded corners of the garden, on the north side of houses and along high blank fences that block the sun.
But in fact, even experienced gardeners do not always see the difference between them (or do not always do it) and consider these two concepts to be synonymous. All flowering and simply ornamental perennials that are undemanding to the sun fall under this category. Therefore, we will talk in general about plants that do not require a lot of light and are excellent candidates for landscaping shaded areas.
By and large, three categories of zones can be distinguished according to the degree of decorativeness, location and significance. The correct choice of shade-loving perennials will depend on this classification:
Plants that are a little whimsical to lighting are usually very demanding on the soil. The earth should be moist, but without stagnant water, well-drained. In composition, it should be light and nutritious. Such as the soil of deciduous forests usually is. If the type of soil in a given place does not meet the requirements of shade-loving crops, you will have to take care of this by preparing special planting pits filled with an optimally composed substrate.
Such zones should include all places that are illuminated by the sun during the day for no more than 3 hours. Such a shadow is given by buildings, wooded parts of the garden, and even single-standing pine trees. A special microclimate is created here, characterized by high humidity of both air and soil.
It looks impressive among stones and conifers, winters well even in the northern regions, but does not tolerate drought and open sun at all. Requires watering and good drainage, prone to self-seeding. Can serve as a substitute for moss in imitation of Japanese compositions. Although it is a perennial, however, it is not durable.
A rather rare perennial in classical domestic gardens, which is rather original than beautiful, but invariably attracts attention. In Britain, it was called "cobra lily", reflecting its appearance well. Refers to evergreen herbs with a pronounced dormant period.
Blooms profusely and for a long time in slightly sparse shade. Forms a spreading bush with beautiful panicles that can be a wide variety of pink, purple, white and red shades. It looks especially impressive during the flowering period, but is decorative throughout the garden season.
Especially appreciated for early flowering. Its inflorescences, which at the same time look like roses and lanterns, adorn the thawed patches of the garden already in March. It tolerates not only a lack of lighting, but also frost and drought.
Carefully! The hellebore belongs to the buttercups and, like all of them, is poisonous!
This is the real queen of the shadow, which has a huge number of varieties. It will compete with its flowering neighbors in the garden with its decorative effect. The host also blooms, but its color is quite modest, but the main advantage of this impressive group is the leaves. All shades of green, spotted, striped, speckled, white-yellow, golden, bluish - their diversity is really impressive.
Lacy shade is formed under some fruit trees, such as cherry, plum, some types of apple trees. On the one hand, less hardy perennials can be planted here, on the other hand, trees greatly dry out the soil in a significant radius around them. And most of the shade-tolerant plants are moisture-loving. This should certainly be taken into account when choosing compositions on such plots. Cereals, periwinkle, Goryanka, comfrey, forest anemone, bergenia, broad-leaved kupena will take root here.
When planting shade-loving plants under fruit trees, keep in mind that they take away some of the nutrients needed to form a crop!
If the openwork shadow is formed by the crowns of non-fruiting trees, and the sun illuminates the flower bed from 3 to 5 hours during the day, lupins, daylilies and many medicinal herbs will feel comfortable in such flower beds: lungwort, Rhodiola rosea, lemon balm, spring umbilical, woodruff.
They are mainly used to create natural areas, but many of them look great in accent compositions. Available both in groups and solo.
In terms of decorativeness in the autumn and even winter seasons, this bush has few equals. When everything that was pleasing to the eye in summer turns into a faded and dull gray background, the chic euonymus foliage becomes a real highlight of your garden.
Will make a pair of autumn euonymus with its decorative foliage. One of the most unpretentious shrubs, which has a clear advantage over others - in the shade, its leaves do not lose their variegated color. Their contrasting pattern creates the illusion of light highlights in the shady corners of the garden, refreshing them and making them visually brighter.
It has become increasingly popular in recent years. Volumetric foliage, spectacular flowers and seed boxes - all this against the background of enviable unpretentiousness is deservedly appreciated by gardeners and landscape designers.
A typical mistake in landscaping shady areas is not taking into account the seasonality of flowering of various crops. As a result, the attractiveness of the decorated corner of the garden is short-lived. Meanwhile, if this moment is taken into account in advance, it is possible to create sites on which flowering will be continuous throughout the summer season.
Early spring is the time of primroses, which should not be neglected. After the dull winter monotony, the look at them will rest almost more than in the summer on roses. They will please with their early modest beauty for about a month. The first to open the buds are various types of snowdrops, hellebore, corydalis, European kandyk, blueberries. It will take quite a bit of time, and the oak anemone, jeffersonia, and liverwort will bloom.
Primroses, as a rule, are prone to active self-seeding, therefore, they require control over reproduction. It is best to identify new foci in early spring, when they just open their buds.
By the end of spring, primroses are ready to be replaced by soldanella, common lumbago, Goryanka and uvularia, which will look especially advantageous against the background of undersized shade-loving shrubs. If it is necessary to cover a significant area, it is recommended to alternate round-leaved saxifrage with phlox and hybrid primroses. They will create a fairly dense leafy-floral rug in places where the sun rarely looks.
Among the shade-loving perennials that bloom in summer, there is something to choose from, given the location of the composition, conditions and overall landscape design. We advise you to pay attention to martagon (curly lily), which from year to year will bloom more and more luxuriously. However, it should be noted that this is a tall plant (some varieties grow more than 1.5 m in height) and under trees with low crowns it will look ugly. But it will be very advantageous to be placed along the fence or on the shady side of the garden building. Paired with lilies, the sinuous corydalis and the bell look great, also calmly enduring the lack of lighting.
The cold season is not so generous for blooming shade-loving perennials, but at this time many ornamental shrubs delight with their lush foliage. Conifers with ferns also help out in such places. It is recommended to supplement compositions with them so that with the onset of the first cold days the garden does not lose its attractiveness. This is a warty euonymus and white turf, as well as mahonia, forsythia and others. Do not ignore berry bushes, such as barberry or hawthorn. Of the late-flowering shade-loving plants, the palm-shaped kirengeshoma can be distinguished. Its voluminous decorative leaves are advantageously complemented by bell inflorescences.
A rational approach to the selection of perennial flowers and shrubs for decorating shady places makes it easier to care for a personal plot by eliminating its “badly working” functions. Mistakes in this matter will require constant maintenance and regular financial investments, which, with the right choice of compositions, can be completely avoided.
Almost every site has places with insufficient lighting, where it is difficult to grow any plants. Shade can be created by residential or outbuildings, as well as the crown of tall fruit trees.
That is why gardeners are so fond of shade-loving perennial flowers for the garden, which do not need constant lighting and can bloom profusely even in conditions of constant lack of light. From the article you will learn what flowers can be planted in the darkest place of your site, their descriptions and photos are given.

In Japan, hostas are considered a sacred plant, and the petioles of their leaves are considered a valuable delicacy.
This is a whole species of perennial herbaceous plants that tolerate adverse climate, drought and lack of light. Today, there are about 16 varieties that differ in the flowering period, bud color and leaf shape. The umbilicus has an average bush height of up to 30 cm, on which oval leaves and simple five-petal flowers up to 1.5 cm in diameter are formed.

Taking into account the characteristics and time of formation of the ovaries makes it possible to achieve almost year-round flowering in the backyard. To do this, it is recommended to create a list or table indicating the vegetative period of each plant.
A garden is a complex system in which all elements must complement and combine with each other. Therefore, it is desirable to plant annual and perennial plants, not only different in height and volume, but also in the specific location. So, shade-loving perennials that can bloom where other plants do not even take root are very popular among gardeners. With the help of them, you can create various garden compositions, as well as arrange a flower bed, mixborder, rockery or alpine slide.
A garden is a composition of trees, shrubs and flowers. But often it is the latter that get only the remnants of the sun. Luckily, there are many plants that can or want to thrive even in heavy shade. Skillfully using these properties, you can create a shady garden with your own hands, skillfully filling the “dark spots” with luxurious or exquisitely restrained compositions.
In order for the plants to feel comfortable and delight the eye with juicy foliage and bright flowers, you need to know the type and acidity of the soil, the degree of shading. Perhaps these are the three fundamental successful growth of your green pets.
Don't judge soil by its color. It depends not only, as is commonly believed, on the amount of clay, but also on the incoming minerals. You can learn for sure about your mother earth in the truest sense of the word effortlessly.
Moisten a small lump of earth and roll a flagellum or sausage out of it - whoever you like, roll it into a ring. The thickness of the product should be slightly more than 3 mm, and the diameter should be 2–3 cm. Now we carefully look at what happened and find out the type of soil.
Note!
Loams are "warm", retain water and fertilizer well, but need constant composting and mulching.
Note!
If you really want to plant lilies, and there is only a place in partial shade on clay, this is not scary.
Experienced gardeners guarantee that there will be fewer flowers, but they will please the eye longer.
Dig a hole into which a 5-liter bucket of sand-peat mixture or black earth will enter. The poured mound should rise 15–20 cm above the ground. The seat is ready.
From the school curriculum, it is known that there are several levels of soil acidity:
An acidic environment is avoided by earthworms; the activity of bacteria is reduced in it. As a result, the soil is compacted and poorly passes air and moisture. Information in general terms, but it gives an idea of what the root system of your pets will develop.
Many cultures prefer neutral and slightly acidic conditions. Although such gourmets as rhododendrons, camellias, heather cannot live without "sour".
If you decide to grow plants for a shady garden seriously and for the joy of posterity, you should buy litmus papers in an agricultural store - pH tests.
Your next steps:
The paper strip will gradually change color. The instructions on the packaging will explain the level of acidity.
Other ways of testing will be almost from the realm of alchemy.
Depending on the time of year, the foliage of trees, the length of daylight hours, and the activity of lighting, the degree of shading of garden plots depends.
Garden flowers for shady places may require:
Old deciduous trees do not pass precipitation well, and the roots intensively draw moisture from the ground. A dry shadow is formed under them, where bulbous plants can take root.
In spring, it will be pearl snowdrops and blue sprouts dear to the heart, multi-colored columns of hyacinth inflorescences with an indescribable aroma, white and yellow daffodils with a sunny center, primrose rugs.
In partial shade, flowers with a diameter of up to 5 cm look spectacular anemone oak. It blooms from April to May. A miniature blue-white-pink blanda anemone appears from under the snow all at once - both leaves and flowers.
Autumn melancholy will be revived by pink and blue flowers of colchicum (autumn colchicum) and crocus. Colchicum is an amazing flower. The onion sleeps and develops underground, shooting with delicate flowers on a leafless stem up to 20 cm high only in autumn.
Headaches are areas with enduring dampness, where flowers for a shady garden will be in danger of rotting. This usually happens in places with a high water table and clay soil or near water bodies.
In damp penumbra, regardless of the soil, hearty houttuynia grows well. 30 cm high, the perennial is attractive with decorative foliage - a green middle and a yellow-red edging. It tolerates the winter of the middle lane well.
