Re: drought tolerant shade plants

Our Omphalodes cappadocia and O. nitida are both dry shade growers here at UCBG in the Mediterranean collection.

Does anyone know why there are so few drought tolerant shade plants? There are plenty of shade plants that take regular watering, and plenty of drought tolerant sun lovers, but what's happening to plants in shade that there isn't an abundance of drought tolerant shade lovers around?

There is a list of plants for dry shade on the mediterranean climate gardening web site:
http://www.mediterraneangardensociety.org/plants/shade.dry.cfm

Please let me know if there are other species that should be added to this list (and I will add them) - it has been a very popular question over the years!
