Plants for the shade
Deciding what to plant under your shade trees is not a problem of finding something that will grow in reduced light, but of finding plants that will grow in the poor, dry soil present under trees. Your plants will be competing with the tree for nutrients and moisture, and the tree will usually win.If the soil under the tree is dry and root-clogged to the point where you have difficulty digging a hole, you will have to improve the soil before you can plant. A layer of organic material several inches deep is the best remedy. The tree will provide you with an abundance of organic material in the form of leaves. Chop them to the size of fifty-cent pieces with a bagging lawn mower and spread them under the tree. Sprinkle them with compost activator and keep them moist. Repeat this procedure annually until the leaves have rotted into a deep humus. Earthworms will move in and loosen the subsoil, making it possible to plant the shade garden of your dreams.
Building the soil takes time and patience. To get a head start, use containers as temporary homes for your shade plants.

Anthurium Flamingo Flower
ut flowers are a wonderful gift, but after they die, all you're left with is an empty vase! An everlasting alternative is the Anthurium plant. Put it in an attractive container, and "voila". The foliage is shiny and dark green, while the flowers are very showy. Available in reds, pinks, lavender, and whites, the flowers are heart shaped, and can last up to 8 weeks. Anthuriums require little care, and bloom almost continuously in good conditions. This blooming plant likes bright light and needs to dry out to the touch between watering, making good drainage essential. Even when they are not in bloom, they are a beautiful foliage plant.Jun 24, 2007

Mexican BLUE Fan Palm Silver
Once palms arrive, they will benefit from being kept in a 1-3 gallon container, slightly moist, warm, and in a fast draining soil, such as Supersoil, or a quality Cactus-Mix(available at any Home Improvement or local Nursery Supply Center). Any of the following ingredients such as pumice, small bark chips, perlite, wood shavings, vermiculite, and coarse sand can all be used to benefit good drainage. These plants typically favor partial sun until established(appoximately 2 feet tall or larger), when they can take full sun. These palms should be planted at a soil height approximately 1 inch above where the roots graduate from the base. Whether you are a 'green thumb' or a beginner, these are easy palms to grow, and will beautify your landscape.Highland COCONUT COLD
A stunning palm from the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Bolivia. Rare in cultivation as seed has only recently been made available, and is still quite expensive. The Highland Coconut, so named because of its resemblance to the common coconut, and producing edible fruit(much smaller than the common coconut, yet similar in taste), has proven to be cold-hardy down to 20 degrees Farenheit. If you like the look of a coconut, grow this one, it's 20 degrees F more COLD-HARDY than the common coconut. A very robust grower, capable of taking full sun at an early age, these are easily adaptable to a Tropical, Mediterranean, or Arid type gardens. Ultimate height approximately 50 feet or soGORGEOUS SHELL GINGER 12"
Herbaceous shrub to 7-10ft. The shell ginger produces rhizomes which are hardy to the 20's. The plant will die back with freezing temperatures. In cold climates, rhizomes can be dug up and stored indoors for the winter. Shell ginger's grow best in shade or filtered sunlight. Provide ample water and humidity.
