Favorite Shade Perennials

• Cimicifuga racemosa
  Blooming as late as September in MN, this plant has tall, spiky white flowers that are fragrant.  It makes a great statement in a shade garden, and has great winter interest.  The deer won't eat this.

• Mayapple - Podophyllum peltatum
  Also known as the Mayapple, this native MN plant grows well in shaded woodland type areas.  It will go dormant in summer.  It has a large umbrella-like leave with a white flower on the underside.  This is a great foliage plant to bring interest to the shade garden.

• Bloodroot - Sanguinaria canadensis
  Bloodroot is another spring ephemeral plant.  A large lobed leaf with a beautiful, delicate white flower that blooms in the spring.  A great companion for ferns.

• Columbines - Aquilegia spp.
  I love the columbines in the shade garden, particularly the native Aquilegia canadensis with it's tall, delicate, nodding orange blossoms.  Perfect combined with lower growing ferns and other groundcovers.  Additional Details
