Tired that Flowers grow poorly in the shade of the house? I present the best Shade-loving Shrubs that will delight you for a long time

When the construction site ends and the fruit garden grows, places with a dense and lacy shadow inevitably appear. Nettles and other weeds grow wildly there, which does not add beauty to the garden.

What kind of ornamental plants to occupy these areas? I found some unpretentious and attractive shrubs that put up with the lack of sun.

1. Chubushnik or garden jasmine

A large plant, from 1.2 to 2.5 m high. In spring, for 4 weeks, the bush is covered with numerous fragrant white flowers. There are varieties with simple buds (like flowers in an apple tree), there are terry varieties.

Chubushnik is frost-resistant. It can be planted near a building, where part of the day it will be hidden from the sun; such partial shading is not reflected in the quality of flowering. In the absolute shade of buds on jasmine, it may not grow.

2. Euonymus

An unpretentious and shade-tolerant shrub, reaching a height of 2 m. Its small leaves have a green tint in summer, and turn purple in autumn.

The euonymus only needs a haircut. It is actively used for the construction of hedges, including in shady areas.

3. Viburnum

A resident of a deciduous forest, viburnum tolerates shading well. In spring, the bush effectively blooms with white corymbose inflorescences.

In late autumn, clusters of scarlet berries hang on bare branches like bright lanterns.

The culture needs regular watering and pruning.

4. Rhododendron

The plant is quite capricious, but striking with the splendor of flowering. On the branches, caps of numerous white, pink, purple, lilac flowers unfold.

For well-being, rhododendron is contraindicated in direct sunlight. It is planted in the shade of trees. The shrub needs acidic peaty loose soil and regular moisture. Most species need to be insulated for the winter.

5. Hydrangea

According to the requirements for soil and moisture, hydrangea is similar to rhododendron, but more unpretentious and common among gardeners.

It grows well in lace shade or in an area exposed to the sun only at sunrise or sunset.

Its large globular inflorescences of blue, white, pink shade delight the eye for 3-5 weeks. I recommend an unpretentious panicle hydrangea for planting.

In addition to shrubs, such flowering plants can be placed in the shade: lily of the valley, periwinkle, astilbe, bell, bather, garden geranium, aquilegia (catchment), volzhanka.
