Great Plants for Shade

My small yard doesn't have much space for shade unfortunately so it's not all the time I get to enjoy beautiful plants that thrive in lower light conditions. However, my lovely Mother In Law, Cathy, has a larger property with lots of wooded spaces that are just perfect for some of these beautiful plants. If you find yourself with a lot of shaded space and in need of some plant inspiration, look no further! Here are some great finds from Cathy's garden.
Rhododendron bushes are a beautiful understory shrub, particularly great if you have acidic soil. 
Sweet Woodruff is a lovely ground cover for shade. 
Pieris on the left and foam flowers on the lower right also enjoy lower light conditions. 
Ferns and hosta's are classic choices for shade. 
There are other uses for shady spots in the lawn, like play areas for your grandchildren!

Do you have great plant choices for shade? Please share them in the comments below!
