Partial-Shade Zone 5

9 years ago

I need to fill a bed in the front of my house. It has morning shade until about 2 or 3 pm, then hot afternoon sun. All my sun loving plants don't do well there but I'm worried it would be too hot for shade lovers. What partial shade shrubs/ plants/ flowers will take morning shade and afternoon sun? Thank you!

Knowing where you are (zone 5 is vague) and having a pic (or at least the dimensions) of the area would help. Also, this isn't a very active forum so try posting this in the Shrub Forum or the Perennial Forum.
