Shady Characters Shade Perennial Collection

This is not your average shade garden collection. We’ve curated the bold, the unusual and the hard to find to turn forgotten shady corners into luminous garden features. This collection is very diverse, with a wide range of colors, heights and textures. Jaws will drop at the dramatic draping cream plumes of Moccachino Astilbe and the chocolate-toned lily pad foliage of BBQ Banana. And of course, for such a collection of shade garden royalty, we went with a color palette that’s pure gold. All the color contrasts emphasize the white, yellow and golden hues, so they’ll show up really well, even in the shadows. From our White Gold Dicentra’s pale hearts over luminous foliage to the unstoppable bells of the Native Yellow Bellfower and the hosta, Ann Kulpa’s bright stripe down the center of each leafall of these perennials are shade garden winners.
