You need to state what area/zone you are in to answer this question. The shade part is just a small piece of the puzzle. Each zone has plants that survive based almost on the environment alone. Contact me at gjgjobs@yahoo.com. I know I can help you.

Since I have no idea where you live I can't be specific. Soils and climates vary.......a lot.!! Not all these plants work in every situation........Ask your nursery or Cooperative Extension Service/Master Gardener
