What shrub can I grow in my shady corner?
12 Answers
Its fairly rich, but quite damp soil, and never in full sun, but gets reasonable light from about waist height upwards! I would like some sort of shrub, preferable flowering, that will grow to a maximum of about five foot tall. Does such a thing exist?

If you like evergreens, try azaleas, rhododendrons, mountain laurels, cherry laurels, hollies, and yews which all take shade. Many varities of ferns are attractive, as well...
Dwarf willows, including weeping varities and cypress do well in wet, shady areas... Always check your hardiness zone, however... Luck!
In my shady corner - it's a big corner! - I have a mahonia which is in flower, white/pink dicentras (bleeding hearts), hydrangea, and a leucothoe which is an acid loving evergreen shrub so is in a large pot. Some small acers will do well in shade but autumn colour might not be so intense. Hypericums also do well in shade.
