One Cool Combo for Part Shade and Low Water
Find A Shady Place
It's that time of year again in our Sacramento region. It's August. It's been a hot summer. And we're all looking for a little shade. Shade gardens can add beauty and provide an inviting, relaxing place in your outdoor area. While it's difficult to get some of our favorites to bloom in the shade, there are so many options for foliage and flowers to choose from―including some with low water needs. Mix in foliage colors, shapes, and sizes to quench your thirst for a shady space.
Check out our first cool combo (left) that thrives in part shade and is low water. This striking color combination includes Daphne, Foxtail Fern, and Black Mondo Grass.
