Shade-loving plants
Shade gives the opportunity to grow some beautiful foliage plants. Shade is 'woodland' for many plants, cooler, more serene. Dry shade can be problematic, few plants can manage bone-dry conditions. Remember to water, or install a small irrigation system.; There are various degrees of shade with differing light levels: ; Full shade: is where very little if any sun hits the plants at any time of the day. It's also referred to as "dense" shade. ; Part shade is where an area gets direct sunlight for around 3 to 6 hours a day and at other times of the day some shade. ; Top tip: As there is more light during winter when the trees have lost their leaves, plant spring bulbs for early colour.
