Shade plants

Shade means only a few hours of direct sun a day, for example on the north side of the house or under dense trees. Vegetables struggle there, but ferns, Christmas rose, sweet woodruff and barrenwort feel right at home. Before planting, check whether the shade is dry, as under trees with dense roots, or moist. That often matters more than the light.
