Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to the list - though I've signed off and on
this list (depending on how busy I am!) for a number of years now! I live
in the woods - VERY shady. My house is new - just built. I'm trying to plan
for spring - as there are no gardens (of course) and I'm starting from
scratch. The house is rustic - cedar siding and a wonderful wood-framed
front porch that runs the full width of the house.
What shrubs would do well in such a shady setting? I'm looking for
something that will stay reasonably tidy - but nice - for in front of the
front porch. I'll probably have a bed there where flowers are between them.
Any ideas of what would do well in more or less full shade?
