Here are shade-loving plants to help you brighten up your space with showy flowers and fantastic foliage.

A garden that gets less sunshine can seem like an impossible challenge but the limitations it confers can also be used to its advantage. Plants suitable for shady spots offer a symphony of textures and shades of green. Fine-textured ferns, arching grasses, spring-flowering plants and other shade-tolerant species, when combined, create a subtle and calm space.
