My first home has a garden almost entirely in shade. It is also difficult to plant anything because the roots of the trees causing all the shade are very shallow, making it hard to dig. So, I am looking for seeds for a shade garden. Here is my top ten list.

1. Hardy cyclamen (any and all colors)

2. Hellebores

3. Wild ginger

4. Poker primrose (primrose vialli)

5. Lungwort

6. Hosta

7. Ferns

8. Trillium

9. Wild Violets (white and purple)

10. Heuchera

And any other you can think of that will grow in the shade.
