Garden, Foundation Shade

This collection combines some appealing leaf shapes and colors that look sensational in shade. The three Ostrich Plume Ferns, with tall, feather-like fronds, and the eight Hostas, with heart-shaped, richly textured leaves, are particularly good companions to the beautiful collection of flowering plants that round out the design.

With the proper selection of shade-loving shrubs and perennials, you can give your shady foundations just as much elegance and beauty as those which are exposed to the sun. For this garden, we have selected a combination of Astilbes, Hostas, Ferns, Blue Pearl Polemonium and Hardy Cyclamen, and added the continuous blooming beauty of the Fairy Roses and the showy Sister Therese Hydrangea.

You’ll find this garden not only makes an outstanding planting for your home’s foundations but can also be arranged in a variety of ways to bring special beauty to any shady area of about 90 sq. ft.

Garden contains 24 plants.
