What herbs and flowers do well in shade?
Shade is tricky because there are different classifications. There are full shade, part shade and partly sunny. You need to know if your shade is in the afternoon or in the morning, too. Does the sun you recieve reflect off of concrete, brick or water? These surfaces make the sun hotter and brighter. I have good luck with lady’s mantle, hardy geranium, lamium, columbine, narcissus, and daylilies in my rural, partly shady yard. Maybe you would think about getting a book on the subject of shade gardens. Good luck!
