Create a Lush Green Oasis with these Shade-Adaptable Plants

Most varieties of hostas do well in the shade, although some are more tolerant of the sun than others. They thrive in rich soil, so experts advise adding organic matter when planting. Once established, hostas require little special care. Planting in an area with good drainage helps protect them from developing crown rot during the winter months. Slugs and deer both find the leaves of the hosta plant tasty. Strategic planting of daffodils may be enough to keep the deer away, and slug bait is gnerally effective.
