Shade Gardening Plants

The Beauty of Low-Light Landscapes

Shaded gardens can be some of the most beautiful spaces if planted correctly. TN Nursery specializes in low-light natives like Christmas Fern, Lady Fern, Wild Ginger, Hostas, and Partridgeberry. Mosses such as Cushion Moss, Fern Moss, and Sheet Moss thrive where grass never will.

Top Shade Plants TN Nursery Offers

Christmas Fern stays evergreen and handles deep shade. Lady Fern provides soft, lacy foliage ideal for woodland beds. Wild Ginger creates glossy groundcover with heart-shaped leaves. Hostas build texture and volume. Partridgeberry is a creeping evergreen with delicate berries that brighten the forest floor. Mosses like Broom Fork Moss and Cushion Moss thrive under trees and spread naturally.

Designing a Lush Shade Garden

Use taller ferns like Ostrich Fern toward the back, mid-size plants like Wild Ginger in the center, and ground mosses near the front. Add stepping stones surrounded by Sheet Moss to create a serene woodland feel. Grouping by moisture requirements ensures effortless success.
