Shade Gardening for Florida

Having it made in the shade can be a challenge, if you’re a gardener. Lawns, roses, and some flowering plants may not thrive or bloom as well there as in full sun. But there are many colorful foliage and flowering plants that absolutely love the shade. Learn what you can plant in different kinds of shade–deep, dappled, or somewhere in between–and how to maintain your trees and landscape to keep the level of shade you want, whether your goal is to create a garden that evokes a tropical jungle or a woodland forest.
