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.
