Shade Perennials
Shade perennials are becoming more and more common in gardens every year. This is because they return year after year, and their preference to shade means that they are easy to care for. There are many types of shade perennials, and each serves its own purpose.

Shade perennials and full shade perennials give life for years to areas of the garden that are unable to grow other plants. These areas include underneath decks and porches, or along side a fence that blocks the sun most or all of the day.

One of the most common shade perennials is the hosta. This shade perennial has large leaves, and needs almost no care. As long as the ground is moist, the plant will thrive. There are also hostas which are full shade perennials, and require even less care. These plants make excellent protection from soil erosion as well as give a bit of color and life to shaded areas of a garden.

Shade and full shade perennials are easy to care for, as they require almost no sunlight, and often no fertilizer. One must only make sure that the ground is moist to enjoy the splendor of these plants for years to come.
