Most of us have some shade in their gardens, and for many shade is the rule rather than the exception.
Flowers by the Sea specializes in herbaceous perennials that grow in the shade. These are plants that dye back to the ground in the Winter, and grow up to their full potential each season. Some are true full shade lovers, and some will grow in part day sun. We include in this category a wide range of plants.
In other words, just the sort of plant a good gardener is thankful for during the busy/hot/tired part of the year.

Another cute mop-top sedge, 'Amazon Mist' is a cool blue-gray-green color, with white on the undersides of the leaves, which gracefully curl back. Mist like, if you will. We just love this plant in containers, as an accent in the garden, or as a very unusual ground cover. Use it to fill in odd spaces, as it's neutral color goes with everything.
We especially like it in a grouping with Heuchera 'Hollywood'. The foliage color combination seems to work perfectly, and the dark red flowers of 'Hollywood' are enhanced by the cool colors of 'Amazon Mist'.
These are well established plants ready to grow in your garden.

(Bog Sage) This highly adaptive Salvia is ideal for the beginner as it is not at all fussy about soil type, sun exposure, drainage or frequency of watering. Although the name uliginosa refers to the bog-like conditions it is naturally found in, this species can also take fairly dry conditions and will spread much less which in some cases might be a good thing.
