[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may want to watch how much sun the area actually gets before you fully commit to plants. [b]Light levels change as the year progresses. I have areas that are in fairly deep shade in the middle of summer bc of deciduous trees that are quite bright in winter.[/b] On the other hand, the full sun (in summer) south side of my house is in part shade in winter bc of the angle of the sun a fence, and the house next door. [/quote] DP but yeah I have this issue and haven't quite figured out how to manage. We have south facing, slope-y areas that get a lot of sun right now but as soon as the oaks leaf out, not so much. Definitely cannot plant full-sun stuff but can be a bit dry for the shady species. So far white wood aster seems to like it but like all asters that gets pretty tall and scraggly looking.[/quote]
