Choosing plants that flourish in low-light conditions can feel daunting, but with expert advice and practical tips, you will learn how to select the right plants for the right place.

  • Find out about plants that grow well in shady spots, including those that are native and Florida-Friendly.
  • Discover how to plant and care for shade-loving plants so they grow strong and healthy
  • Get ideas to make your shade garden look nice with different colors, textures, and layers of plants
  • Learn tips on how to keep your shade garden healthy with less work and maintenance
