Plants growing in
shaded spots should be accustomed to the specific conditions,
otherwise they will stop their growth and will simply rot. Here are
some plants which will be ideal for areas where sunlight is scarce.
Plants which should
be grown in shaded spots:
- Bellis: viola odorata, vinca minor, glechoma, hypericum, hosta, ranunculus repens, iris sibirica, convallaria majalis, pulmonaria officinalis, galanthus nivalis, muscari, aconitum firmum, fern, etc.;
- Vines: hedera, hydrangea petiolaris, clematis, schizophragma hydrangeoides;
- Broad-leave trees and shrubs: carpinus, ginko biloba, rhododendron, rhododendron molle japonicum, buxus, hydrangea, ribes alpinum;
- Conifers: taxus, Canadian pine, thujpopsis dolabrata
Those are only some
examples – there are many other plants which will be good to grow
in shady spots. You can find most of them in garden centres. You
should ask the shop assistant for an advice – he/she will gladly
help you and inform how to take care of the plant so it will stay
beautiful for a long time.
