Give Your Shady Spots the Color They Deserve | Tuff, Colorful Plants for Part Shade | Zone 7
Your shady spots deserve better than another hosta. In Episode 3 of my Shade Garden Color Series, I'm showing you exactly what I'm planting to bring real color and seasonal interest to the part shade spaces in my Zone 7B garden — tough, colorful plants that earn their place from summer all the way through fall. These aren't the obvious choices. That's exactly why they work. 🌿 THE 3 PLANTS: 🌸 Hydrangea 'Tuff Stuff Top Fun' (Proven Winners) — compact reblooming mountain hydrangea with pink lacecap blooms; thrives in part shade and keeps flowering from summer into fall 🌿 Aruncus 'Chantilly Lace' — Goat's Beard; delicate white plumes on beautifully dissected foliage; elegant, easy, and completely underused in home gardens 🌺 Bergenia 'Pink Dragonfly' — bold evergreen foliage that looks great year-round, with bright pink blooms in spring; one of the most underrated plants for part shade spaces 📌 Catch the full series: ▶ Episode 1 — Astilbe, Spiderwort, Bear's Breeches & Shade Orchid: [link] ▶ Episode 2 — Turtlehead, Toad Lily, Foam Flower & Astilbe 'Visions in Pink': [link] 🌿 Shop My Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/photograp... 🌸 Workshops & Open Garden Days: https://lorilankford.com 📧 Join My Email List: https://lorilankford.com/subscribehere 📷 Instagram: / mainstgardener 🌱 New videos every week from my 100-year-old Zone 7B Maryland garden.
