WJT Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Does anyone have any suggestions on what the best shrub to plant in all day shade? I have just done a search and it appears that most of the shrubs mentioned states some shade. I have a spot in a corner that I would like to plant a few medium to largish shrubs but unfortunately because of the way the wall is situated it is in the shade all day. Does such a plant exist? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini_man Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Spotted Laurel might be suitable. It's tolerant of sun, partial shade or full shade. Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/csqzfgI was also going to suggest Fatsia and I see there's a link for that on the same page, at the bottom.Here's a link in French for Spotted Laurel: http://isaisons.free.fr/aucuba.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I had a spotted Laurel in a shady place and next to it was a Viburnham, Eva Price - it has flowers from April to December....There's a list here: http://www.letsgogardening.co.uk/Information/ShadeLovingPlants.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babcock Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Try a mahonia. The variety "charity" is particularly spectacular and even when not in flower it looks good. There are other varieties of different heights and flower structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Depending on the depth of shade a Garrya elliptica might work, thats attractive, I wish I had space for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
