Spiderwort

Spiderwort and Tradescantia, which are also known as widow’s tears, are part shade plants. If you want to try this one for your deep-shade garden, don’t. It has a wonderful flower, and it can grow anywhere from a foot-and-a-half to two feet tall. The Sweet Kate variety has a couple of unique, chartreuse-colored leaves, so it’s definitely something you should try out.

Sedum ternatum

As some sedums could easily tolerate a little bit of shade, there’s a particular kind that thrives in it, and that is Sedum ternatum, also known as woodland stonecrop. It is native to the United States, and it’s a low-growing plant that thrives very well in damp, rocky soil and also produces humble and fascinating white flowers.

Viola

We already know that these spring bloomers love the sun, but they also prefer part to full shade, especially in the heat of the summer. Some types have an interesting fragrance, too, if you’re looking forward to having a nicely scented garden.
