If you have a spot in your garden that doesn’t get any direct sunlight shining on it at any time of day, you need to choose plants that tolerate what is called “full shade”. Here’s a few suggestions:
- Aucuba ‘Gold Dust” with beautiful speckled foliage
- Tractor Seat Plant featuring glossy round dinner plate sized leaves
- Japanese Aralia which is a lush, tropical looking shade lover
- New Zealand Rock Lily for a strappy looking option
- Ajuga ‘Burgundy Glow’, a colourful spreading plant that blocks weeds
- Baby’s Tears as a groundcover in a shady spot
Here’s a link to some more plants that tolerate full shade.
