BINETTI FROM 10 geranium or lamium. You will need to water the first summer after planting in dry shade to establish the root system of your new plants. If colorful blooms are what you’re after, consider placing large pots under the trees or hang baskets of flowers suspended from the overhanging tree branches. Depending on how much shade and how much compost you are willing to add to the soil you can also grow tough perennials like euphorbias, peonies, hellebores, lady’s mantle and hosta. A mulch like bark chips on top of the soil will help to seal in moisture and keep out weeds. Dry shade is not a death sentence, but it is a prison where only the very tough
will survive. Just don’t let these aggressive survivors escape from confinement – some are thugs that will overpower your less assertive plants. • • • Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books.
