Create a Lush Green Oasis with these Shade-Adaptable Plants

Japanese forest grass provides a unique option for filling shady locations. The ornamental grass is low-maintenance and, depending on the climate, semi-evergreen. It does well in partial-shade and is available in a variety of colors, with solid or variegated leaves. Hardy from zones 5 to 9, Japanese forest grass can tolerate colder temperatures if you add heavy mulching during the winter months. It prefers moist, nutrient-rich soil.
