Got Shade? Consider Woodland Wildflowers To drive around some
neighborhoods, you’d think that the only plants that will grow
in shade are hostas and impatiens. Yes, these are lovely plants,
but there’s a whole world of other shade-loving plants out
there! If you’re looking to expand an existing shade garden, or
you’re tired of struggling to grow lawn or sun-loving plants in
a shady spot in your landscape, consider planting some woodland
wildflowers. Why Native? There’s something particularly
rewarding about growing native woodland wildflowers. You not
only get to enjoy the beauty of their blooms, you also provide
food and shelter for native wildlife. For example, columbines
and cardinal flowers attract hummingbirds, and wintergreen
berries provide winter food for partridges and bobwhites. Native
plants have adapted to the particular conditions of their region
of origin. While some types can be finicky about where they’re
planted, others rival garden stalwarts like daylilies in their
adaptability. Wildflowers
