Collection: Full Shade Plants
Full Shade Plants – Quiet Beauty for Cool, Sheltered Spaces
These native plants are specialists of the forest floor, thriving in areas with little to no direct sunlight—typically under dense tree canopies or along north-facing slopes. Drawn from the deep woods, ravines, and shaded wetlands of the Ottawa Valley and Outaouais region, these species are adapted to filtered light, cool temperatures, and rich, organic soils.
From delicate ferns and woodland wildflowers to shade-tolerant groundcovers and shrubs, this collection adds texture, softness, and biodiversity to your low-light spaces. They support forest pollinators, maintain healthy soil, and bring quiet, layered beauty to even the darkest corners of the garden.
Light Requirements: Less than 3 hours of direct sunlight per day
Uses: Forest restoration, shade gardens, groundcover under trees
