What can I say about Hosta. Hostas are definitely one of my favourite shade plant perennials. They just keep on giving year after year. Here is just a sampling of what is available along with Ice Plant and Iris.
If you have a garden that has both sun and shade areas, you have a wide variety of plants to choose from so there is no need for you to neglect your shaded parts of the garden. Here are links to 15 pages full of perennials for browsing through. Have a look and see what you think would suit your preferences and garden design. Check the descriptions for the individual requirements for each plant whether shade, dappled shade, or completely in full sun.
