What can I plant in a shady place?
What types of plants can I plant in a shady area as well as a host? I'd like something that blooms It is perennial. I live in NE Ohio. The point is, under an old oak tree.
Hi. I live in NE Ohio, too. I've had luck with ferns, Pachysandra (sp?) And ivy. Hydrangea is good for the sunlight filtered / partial shade. But my favorite thing to do in a shaded area is to start a garden of moss. It takes a or two years to mature, but it is fun to grow and very tolerant. If you have any moss in your shady area already then you know that the soil is good for it. You can grow moss on rocks, trees, statues, etc., as well as on land. Google moss gardens get great ideas. Good luck.

Perennial Vegetables $23.09 There is a fantastic array of vegetables you can grow in your garden, and not all of them are annuals. In Perennial Vegetables the adventurous gardener will find information, tips, and sound advice on less common edibles that will make any garden a perpetual, low-maintenance source of food. Imagine growing vegetables that require just about the same amount of care as the flowers in your perennial beds and bordersno annual tilling and potting and planting. They thrive and produce abundant and nutritious crops throughout the season. It sounds too good to be true, but in Perennial Vegetables author and plant specialist Eric Toensmeier ( Edible Forest Gardens ) introduces gardeners to a world of little-known and wholly underappreciated plants. Ranging beyond the usual suspects (asparagus, rhubarb, and artichoke) to include such minor crops as ground cherry and ramps (both of which have found their way onto exclusive restaurant menus) and the much sought after, anti-oxidant-rich wolfberry (also known as goji berries), Toensmeier explains how to raise, tend, harvest, and cook with plants that yield great crops and satisfaction. Perennial vegetables are perfect as part of an edible landscape plan or permaculture garden. Profiling more than 100 species, illustrated with dozens of color photographs and illustrations, and filled with valuable growing tips, recipes, and resources, Perennial Vegetables is a groundbreaking and ground-healing book that will open the eyes of gardeners everywhere to the exciting world of edible perennials. |
