What is the most shade tolerant evergreen shrub?
The yew plant is one of the most shade tolerant evergreen shrubs. Yew plants will grow bright red berries even when grown in full shade. Most thrive in full shade or part shade in a variety of soil conditions including dry shade. Suitable under trees, shrubs, sheltered by walls, fences, etc, includes many ferns, early spring flowers such as anemones, snowdrops, epimedium, and foliage plants like hosta and heuchera.Luckily, we have alternatives, especially when it comes to growing shrubs in the shade. There are some spectacular standouts we can enjoy, including azaleas (pictured above), climbing hydrangeas, Euonymus, red and yellow twig dogwoods, elderberries, ninebark, spirea and others.
