OK
The shrub type Hibiscus or Rose of Sharon does well in part shade, it flowers about a week later than one grown in sun but same amount of flowers.
Excellent....I am looking for some taller plants! : )
Thanks Pearl.
What about hydragena??? I always thought that hydragena would do well in partial shade but the local nursery grower talked me out of one. She said most varieties do better in sun.
brunnera, heuchera, Chinese astilbe, ferns, cranesbill, Lady's mantle, bugleweed (groundcover),
harebell, columbine, astilbe, lamium, bleeding heart, rhododendron, Japanese maple, day lilies, periwinkle (ground cover) dogwood are all plants (perennial) that I ave had succes with, even up to full shade.
I actually have Goat's Beard that does well in partial shade as well as some of my hydrangeas. Sedum is another one that I have in partial shade. Some of the plants that I have in full sun are also in partial shade but perform differently from one area to the other. I know that seems obvious but sometimes people tend to follow the rules, regarding 'exposure', so strictly that they lose sight of the other possibilities. For instance I have monks hood in partial shade and full sun, one is not as tall and the full sun are towering. Both produce beautifully when it comes to the flowers.
