Back in 2019, I had to pick between a full sun or shade garden plot.

My old yard in Austin only had two spots left, one got 8 hours of direct sun and the other was under a big oak. I chose the shady spot because I wanted to try ferns and hostas. It worked out okay, but everything grew really slow and stayed small. Anyone have tips for getting more color in a low-light garden?

Try adding some coral bells or astilbe for pops of color. They handle shade pretty well.

Totally! Astilbe saved my shady corner.
