I would like to plant a dramatic tall plant in a spot that is all shade. Will a tall ornamental grass take shade? If not, can you suggest something that is tall, will take shade, and have fairly all-season interest? |
I don't know of any ornamental grasses that will thrive in such a shady spot; you might be better off with a shrub. Here are a few suggestions: Deciduous: Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii) Summersweet (Clethra alnifolia) Burning bush (Euonymus alatus) Oak leaf hydrangea (H. quercifolia) Evergreen: Inkberry (Ilex glabra) Drooping leucothoe (L. fontanesiana) Rhododendron Yew I hope this helps! |
