The soil temperature is still fairly warm, which helps fall-planted perennials, including trees, shrubs, and vines, to begin building their root system. In spring, the plant will already have started to grow, and will grow faster than spring-planted varieties. The Shaded Garden Diverse foliage textures and colours can grab the attention in shady settings, with little or no help from flowers. But to plant successfully in shade, you have to know what kind of shade you have. Gardens with cool, dappled shade created by a canopy of tree branches. are called woodland gardens.
Partial shade is where an area is in full sun for part of the day and in shade for the rest.
Full-shaded areas are always in shadow but receive diffused light. And finally, dense shade is where little or no light penetrates. Such place are often very dry because of the heavy growth over head which obstructs rainfall. You will notice that the catalogue entries for most shady-area plants specify 3 hours to half a day of shade. Most require shade in the hottest part of the day.
