Here are more of these easy-to-grow shade loving perennials:
Hosta
Hostas are the go-to perennial for shady gardens – and for good reason. They are tough, hardy and will flourish for years with little or no attention. Hosta foliage colors range from creamy white through gold, lime green, medium green and blue-green. Mnay varieties have variegated leaves and most produce white or lavender flowers in summer. Heights range from 4″ to 36″ tall.
Heuchera
Plant breeders have had a field day with the genus Heuchera, also known as coral bells. There seems to be no end to the variations in leaf color;: silvery, burgundy, purple-black, chartreuse, salmon and rusty orange. With Heuchera, it’s the foliage that provides the visual excitement, though some varieties also have showy flowers on tall, slender stems 8″ to 15″ tall.

So . . . what is the plant shown in the picture above? Went to the site & article didn’t give info for the one shown!
It is astilbe. Shade loving, needs about an inch of water a week. Well drained soil.
Astilbe one of my favorites
Thanks! We had a starter from a friend & they just called it Angel Bush! Starter didn’t make it so now I know what to look for!

I absolutely am put off by these articles that tease you into believing they will really list what they say they will. Only to discover you are routed to a website. This makes me not want to explore more. Be honest. Produce what you are offering. You can’t do that? Then how can I trust your plants and information is reliable. I hope you can see my point. Please don’t do this anymore, honest advertising is good advertising. Trickery is not.
Well said, I couldn’t agree more!!
astilbe is gorgeous
i don’t even bother to click thru anymore
A huge favorite … they also come in white – very beautiful
