Hi from a gardener in Qld, Australia. A big thank you for all of your lovely and relaxing videos. Your garden is magnificent, Danielle. You have certainly worked hard to get it that way, but you always look happy when you are showing us your pretty plants. I have a debilitating autoimmune disease that has now made it quite challenging for me to do all the gardening activities I used to do. I am blessed though to have a kind and talented husband to make me some planters and raised beds. I adore all of your plant choices. I also watch Laura from Garden Answer, as well as Yulia from Y-Garden. All three of you inspire me so much to create beauty in my subtropical garden. The hardest thing to deal with here in our wet, humid season is black, sooty mould, and mealy bugs. I have been spraying them with a soapy water and veggie oil spray, and I am waiting to see the results. Do you know how can kill fungus gnats that are living in the soil of my plants and are destroying the roots of my delicate, delphinium seedlings?

What a great list of flowers and i could use all if them in my woodland area! I planted about 35 azaleas last year and 5 oak leaf hydrangeas plus tons of mop heads, lacy and wedding hydrangeas. I love hydrangeas and they do so well here! Just purchased sone bleeding hearts. Never plant them before, so wish me luck-
Also planted done winter berry under my holly tree. They produce eatable red fruit that add winter interest and will feed wildlife during winter. They can-t be used as cut flowers as they are low to the ground but are so sweet!

Thank you. Was the last plant the only one resistant to deer? We are zone 7, high desert, central California in mountains, and the deer have a natural yearly trek through our backyard, if they don't get run down crossing Rt. 101 before they come up another 100 ft. or so to our house. All the plants were beautiful. sure hope we can use some of them. We've lived here 45 years, and the oaks on our back hill have grown so enormous they have covered and shadowed and shaded the 80 ft. bank of flowers that thrived in the sun -

I've got a few others to add to your excellent list that I grow in part shade in the UK for cutting. Nicotiana and Hesperis (sweet rocket) both give you great scent, Lunaria (Honesty) gives flowers in spring and then seed pods for dried flowers in autumn and Brunnera Macrophylla is a great shade perennial which provides forget-me-not type flowers throughout spring into early summer plus distinctive foliage.

I truly enjoyed this video! So informative and full of shade beauty. I really needed this video because I am moving to a new house next month that has a lot more shade than my current garden and I have to figure out how to garden differently! Thank you so much!

Hi Daniel, this was great information. I have a rhododendron called -June- that is a beautiful red that I never thought to cut, nor have I tried columbine (it just started blooming here. I am sharing this information with my Master Gardener group too.

Love this! So helpful. We have been living with my in-laws and I have been foraging in their woods and landscape to put together arrangements. I have been loving azaleas and rhododendrons and the vase life is incredible! And dogwood also.

My mom, who is 93 years old, used to cut rhododendron for arrangements. Perhaps older generations used to do it? Thanks for highlighting it! It was a lost memory for me about my mother. I can even picture the vase she used.

Your background on this video is breathtaking -. Thank you so much for the details of so many shade tolerant flowers. I just planted 1 gal columbines in my garden and they don-t seem happy. Is full sun a no no for them?

Omg, I literally bought an oak leaf hydrangea earlier today so I was afraid to watch this. worried that maybe I messed up and bought the wrong type of hydrangea, I didn't though. Woohoo!
Astilbe is underrated

Thank you for sharing these shade options! I have a ton of shade and will look in to these for my zone 4 garden. I do have a few of these but am always looking for more plants to help lush up my garden space!

Awsome, I'm new to -serious-gardening. So happy to hear you talk about the Pieris! I bought one last year not knowing anything about them. It's been fun watching it develop, so excited to see it in bloom.

I just went out and brought three reblooming hydrangeas after watching this video! I-m so excited for them this summer. How should I prune them? I-m nervous to prune them and not have them bloom next year!

I live in zone 10a but I-m going to check to see if any of those shade loving plants can live in my area. I-m working on a shady area right now and don-t know what to put in it.

Lacebugs on azaleas are new to me. -Thank you for doing this video on shade plants. I have many of them, but don-t use them as a cut flower. Please do more videos on shade.

Thank you for that wonderful list of shade loving/tolerant plants for cut flowers. Did not know the Rhododendron was able to be used - a great research trial. Well done.
