What are some flowering plants?
most novice gardeners connect shadow gardens with limited selection of plants and are discouraged by what they consider to be the limited ability of the landscape of their garden. In particular, shadow gardens are often associated with several ferns and possibly Japanese maple trees, but planting flowering shrubs and plants seems to be elusive. Although it is true that some flowers need a full sun, there are a number of shade plants that grow very well in the shade and can provide a beautiful color and interest to your garden.
If you work with a large space, two basic shrubs for assessment are hydrangeas and rhododendrons. Both shrubs thrive in the shade, although hydrangeas can also be planted in partial sun. Rhododendrons and their smaller cousins Azaleas come in a beautiful range of colors: white, pink, red, purple and yellow. They can grow very large and fragrant flowers bloom from spring to mid -summer.
Hydrangeas prosper well in the shade because they need much more water in a sunny environment. Although careful watering is required, if you forget for a few days, you can usually revive the plant by renewing watering. Hydrants grow to large shrubs and are either pink or quite blue. The color depends on the soil. Metals from the soil can change the crown of flowers to dark blue, which is very attractive. Newer variants have white flowers. All shrubs have stems with a head of small flowers, approximately 1-2 feet (0.30-60 m) across. They create excellent cut flowers and flowers can take more than a month.
For ground cover, there is nothing nicer than violet, yellow or white, which will bloom early in the spring and easily expand. They also create attractive leaves that keep the area green throughout the year with proper watering. Although the child does not form, they are also well adapted to the shadow and create a nice mixture with violet.

Puchsia hanging are ideal for wine barrels or for hanging pots that can give one's garden multi -level attraction. With proper care they will flow throughout spring and summer.
A few small shadow flowers are annuals and need to be replaced annually. Impatiens come in a series of colors and bloom from the beginning of spring to fall, before the first frost. They grow rapidly and one can often buy them in multiple packages quite cheaply in garden or hardware stores. Some environments are so mild that Impatiens will flow virtually throughout the year. There are also double impatiates that resemble a small rose and are now a great choice.
Lysianthis, another annual, reminds Crocus and comes in purple, white and yellow. For good prospering really full shadow. It also requires special attention to watering on hot days. But it makes a beautiful accessory to your shadow ZHadvice.
Martha Washington Geraniums, again available in almost every presentable color selection, are perennials that do not require re -landing. They often come in mixed colors such as purple stripes with white or red and white. They will also prosper in a partial sun.
If deciduous trees provide a shadow in your garden, then during the winter to early spring your garden will have more sun. If this is the case, you can plant the usual winter bulbs of crocuses, iris, tulips and daffodils that will provide many colors and interest in the beginning of spring. In even a partial shadow, most bulbs get enough sun to prosper well in your garden.
