What shrubs can I plant now close to a new maple that will eventually be in the maple's shade? |
Some shrubs are not particularly choosey about their exposure to sunlight or their livability in shade. Here are a few to consider: Glossy abelia (Abelia grandiflora 'Edward Goucher') Barberry (Berberis thunbergii vars.); Wintergreen barberry (Berberis julianae) Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia vars.) Japanese rose (Kerria japonica) Beautybush (Kolkwitzia amabilis) Spirea (Spiraea spp.) Viburnum spp. Hope one of these suggestions appeals to you! |
