Choose Shade-Tolerant Plants: Look for plants specifically labeled as shade or low-light tolerant.
Consider Foliage Varieties: Since blooms are less frequent in low light, focus on plants with attractive foliage.
Opt for Variegated Leaves: Plants with variegated leaves, such as the variegated hosta or the shade-loving caladium, can brighten up a shady area and add visual interest.
Assess Soil and Moisture Needs: Ensure that the plants you choose are compatible with the soil type and moisture levels in your garden.
Select Plants with Different Heights: Create visual interest by combining plants of various heights.
Check Hardiness Zones: Make sure the plants you select are suitable for your climate and hardiness zone.
Consider Evergreen Options: Incorporate evergreen plants to maintain year-round interest in your shade garden.
