Transform a large shady corner into a tranquil oasis with a blend of short and medium perennials such as Hosta, Coral Bell, and Astilbe, which will thrive in the shade. Introduce structure and texture with an upright shrub, like Pyramidal Juniper, a burst of color with a flowering shrub like Azalea, and year-round interest with an evergreen shrub, like Boxwood. Complete the serene atmosphere with a beautiful tree, such as Japanese Maple.
