October 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #161: Color in a shade garden
Tip of the Week
Most of your color in a shade garden will depend on plants with colored foliage. But don't worry, many plants such as hostas, ( Hosta spp.) and Japanese maples ( Acer japonicum ) actually show their best color in the shade. And don't forget plants with variegated foliage to add color to a garden. Variegated foliage can be overdone, but when used as highlights throughout the garden it can bring the appearance of light to dark corners.
