Plants for Dry Shade
Many plants will survive dry shade once established. Be
nice to them for the first year and you will get better results. They
will probably grow slowly but survive after that. Many plants are designed
to grow in deciduos woodland. They are expecting a dark dry summer. They
do most of their growing in spring and autumn. They usually flower in
spring. Almost nothing will survive under evergreens.
