If you have a garden with sun and shade areas, you can have a good variety of plants. Don’t neglect the shady parts of the garden. I have provided 15 pages of perennials for you to look through to see what would suit your garden design. Be sure to check the requirements for each plant to see if they prefer a shady spot, dappled shading, or like to sit in full sun.
