- I love this plant selection and grow many of these same flowers in my front yard, but I noticed the Russian sage and coneflowers in the shade as well. I’m wondering if I could do something similar in my backyard. It gets only 3-4 hours sun around my deck during midday, but the sun travels through a high tree canopy, so it’s not full throttle sunshine the entire time. Would it be a waste of my time and effort to try it, do you think?
Like the depth of the plant box with layers of plants and colors. We've seen these around a tree and it's a nice touch...
