[quote=Anonymous]If it's mostly shade - I would do a mix of these standbys. For blooms: - astilbe - early June - foxglove - May - anemones - late summer/early fall - bulbs for early spring - they will bloom before the leaves come out - I love tulips but they do not naturalize. Daffodils, hyacinths, snowdrops are good for coming back. - coneflowers will grow anywhere - if you like bees/butterflies/birds - they are great for that. - Add impatiens (annual) for color throughout summer. - hellebores for early, early spring. For greenery - hostas and ferrns are great for shade. Azaleas and hygrangeas do well in high shade - which is taller trees so they get some light. Azaleas bloom in late spring, hydrangeas in June/July. Camellias too - bloom in late fall or winter. Beauty berry bush is awesome for fall...bright purple berries. ANd I'll stop now! [/quote]
