Actually, there's some wonderful information on this site if you just type in shade plants. One section even has three lists: partial shade, full shade and one for shrubs and trees. It also tells about soil preparation, compost and adjusting the pH. Plus you can click on some of the highlighted plants and get even more information about the specific plant.

I do it so often I thought it would be easier for some people instead of re-typing the same thing all the time..

I got this beautiful Stargazer Lily for Easter and it just finished blooming. Can I plant it outside right now or do I need to harvest the bulbs and store those and then plant them in the spring? Thanks! Plants: 71 | From: calif | Registered: Apr 2006

If we are going to add full sun plants that do well in shade I have to brag about the miniature snap dragons. I have them underneath a maple tree and they love it there. They are in full bloom right now and I just love there show of color. I'm going to have to get more reds for next year I didn't end up with many this year but I sure do like them. They are great.

I hope this thread isn't just for perennials. I use Blue Holly (Ilex x meserveae), Green or Variegated Japanese Maple (the reds aren't as nice in the shade), Hydrangea p. 'Tardiva', American Holly (these get big) and Swiss Stone Pine (P. cembra) as the 'backbone' in shade gardens.

I like to put rocks around the tree. now, how do i make this? do i put bags around then, dirt on top, with the chips. would that be best to put chicken and hens there? what kind plants could i plant? lol.. i got 3 baby chicken and hens..trying figure where to plant them.

Hi sheila..If you are going to want to plant around it... I would bypass the putting anything down!! ...I do believe ther hens and chicks need a bit more sun...But you can try them! I have had luck with many sun loving plants in the shade! Mums would be pretty as well.. What I would do is maybe put some larger rocks around the perimeter and then fill it in with the smaller rocks!
