Garden Remedies for Dry Shade

You may think black foliage gets lost in the dark shade garden, however this perennial blooms white spikes and paired with wild ginger or "SUN KING" arailia the golden honeysuckle color makes these combinations pop.

This foliage will boost a lime green in shade particularly in contrast to the black foliage.

Although wild gingers, Asarum and Hexastylis species, can be found the world over, most of the ones that are cultivated for their ornamental value are native to the shaded woodlands of Asia and North America. Wild ginger does not refer to the culinary ginger (Zingiber officinale) that is used in stir-fry and ginger ale. The number of species and cultivars offers gardeners a wide choice of leaf patterns and color for use in a shade garden. These perennials are a versatile, easy-to-grow choice for the woodland shade garden as a groundcover or massed planting with outstanding foliage interest.
