In addition to the traditional shade garden blooming plants like azaleas and camellias there are a number that add color with their foliage.

We are continually looking for ways to create interest and excitement in shade gardens. We recently added a new Acorus called Ogon. This is a small grassy accent with bright golden foliage. Another new perennial we have added is Variegated Dianella. This white and green perennial has foliage that resembles bearded iris foliage and adds color in the shade garden.

Added to these you can include Hosta, Crimson Curls Coral Bells, Liriope, Variegated Osmanthus Goshikki and the stand-by Gold Dust plant.
