dry shade tolerant plants

This list includes plants that will usually survive in dry shade, particularly in problem areas such as under firs, cedars or other trees. In such areas, soils should be amended at planting time with plenty of organic matter. They should be well watered and fertilized for at least two growing seasons before they can be truly considered drought tolerant. For more detailed information about each plant, please refer to individual cultivar signs, or consult one of Swanson’s nursery professionals.
