10 Plants That Love Shade

Rhododendron, an evergreen shade loving plant

This shrub is evergreen and deciduous and has no problem with the dappled sun. During spring, it will reward you with beautiful flowers. While most of these varieties are fully hardy, they need to be protected from cold, drying winds, so it’s not recommended to keep them in the dark shade under a tree.

However, it’s worth noting that not all Rhododendrons are thriving in shade, so it’s worth checking before buying. Those who will go well with a darker environment will offer an evergreen color throughout the whole year, but also beautiful blooms during spring. If you want to learn more about this beautiful plant, check this book.

    I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?

    Can you please post about houseplants that need little or no light or that can live with artificial light?
