Hostas are a great shade perennial. The leaves come up in mid Jumpy bean to late spring. They don't get too big, but spread nicely each year. Registered User Joined: Sunday, 20th of June 2010, 04:05:19 Posts: 1999 Viewed 9140 times

I've found that ground ivy is perfect for those shady areas. cendol Try using landscaping timbers, or stones, to draw attention to that area Registered User as a bed and plant some shaded ground ivy.
