Most gardens have shady spots, but some gardens have a real shade ‘problem’. Whether
it is caused by large or overhanging trees, tall buildings, or just being on the ‘wrong side
of the street’, fi nding the best plants for a shady area can be challenging, particularly if
the rest of your garden basks in sunshine all year round. Shade plants are not necessarily
tropical, although many tropical plants thrive in shade. Some delicate leafy plants will
scorch and burn in hot sun, some plants like shady conditions but not damp soil, while
others grow happily in damp, boggy ground that receives minimum sunlight. Gardening
in the Shade examines the different types of shade and the effect it has on plant growth.
It presents solutions to common problems such as feeding, watering and mulching
shade plants, and how to deal with exacerbating factors such as wind, frost and soil
type. Popular shade plants, like clivias, bromeliads, fuchsias and ferns are given special
features, and a directory of species lists plants under headings like ground covers,
tropical-looking perennials, and succulents.
