Seems odd to say, but I would offer up asparagus. I planted a root crown in my flower bed, and if you let the spears grow, it provides such a pretty feathery structure for a full sun spot. People ask me all the time what it is and are always surprised to hear it’s an edible.

One underused plant is bugbane Cimicifuga, stays nice looking all year, dark foliage, white flowers late season and the bugs don’t eat it and I’ve never had deer munch on it either. Grows in a shady location.

I live in New York State and love Solomon's Seal for a shady area. The small flowers are bee friendly, but the leaves turn golden in autumn and are so pretty! I planted some in a corner where we were having trouble growing anything and it filled in the space a bit more every year!

I loved this video! I discovered Bluestone Perennials about 15 years ago and have ordered from them pretty much every year!. We don't have a good local nursery so shopping online is the only way I can find unique perennial plants. The first gardening show I watched years ago was A Gardener's Diary with Erica Glasener where she toured home gardens all over the country. It changed my whole view of gardening! I've also subscribed to a lot of gardening magazines over the years (Fine Gardening, Country Gardens), which made me aware of all the great plants available.

Love that you included Barrenwort in this presentation. I planted it for the first time when I did a massive hosta "rearrangement" and moved almost 50 plants from the driveway entrance of my home to the fenced in back yard. I finally had enough of feeding a local deer herd. The project was overwhelming. The following year I was just getting the rhythm of caring for the new fence border when I was weeding and very nearly plucked out the Barrnwort! What stopped me was the most beautiful teeny tiny flower imaginable.....almost made me want to believe in fairies. This wirely little rascal is a dream plant and well worth your mention.

One of our favorites that we don't see in other gardens much is chelone obliqua. It grows in fairly deep dappled shade for us (under a dense grapevine) and blooms prolifically with pink snapdragon-like flowers in late summer through fall. Shade + color + fall blooming are all wins in our book.

I love that you are talking about unusual plants. I have thalicrums, I first saw them when I took a trip to Bainbridge Island , Washington. Arranged by Horticulture magazine, guest speakers and tours of various gardens, best trip ever. I got to visit Dan Hinkley's Heronswood, before it was sold, so many unusual plants, we were able to buy plants, too. I brought home Black Stockings. And now I'm retired from our business, and I have my dream job. I work seasonably at a family owned nursery for my cousin taking care of plants, selling etc. It's a wonderful nursery, if you're ever in Chicago area, actually NW Indiana, you should come visit us.

For me, I prefer plants that give striking autumn colour like Cutleaf Sumac, Amur Maples, Amsonia, Spireas, Colocacias, and several others that I haven't learned the names of. I like plants with unusual leaf shapes and colours so that I can rely less on flowers, which usually come and go so quickly.

One thing I love about it: the architectural stiff stems/flower heads over the winter. I love to cut some in the spring and spray paint them & stick them into my pots of pansies. I haven't seen anyone else do this. They look fantastic.

Thinking they were all yellow I found another in my garden center and planted it also in my new shade garden under a magnolia tree. Surprise! Next early spring when it bloomed, It bloomed pinkish red! And the leaves have a gorgeous red border on chartreuse leaves the rest of the year! I look forward to the both of them filling out the space under the magnolia as I see it outside my living room picture window in a little secret shade garden. ❤

My gardening is full on moist/wet and shady but allows me for great selection of hydrangeas, ferns, birches and Japanese acers.. dont have to worry too much about watering! What I noticed that many of US gardeners I watch, including yourself do not plant hebe!? I am absolutely in love with this little evergreen :) it flowers in all shades, pollinators are crazy for it and it can be pruned to shape - I use mine as substitute to boxwood balls.

Thank you, Erin, for featuring epmediums. They are a workhorse in many of my shade areas which are very dry competing with trees or underneath eaves. Another little plant I love planted in groups is sisyrinchium campestre-prairie blue-eyed grass. Any of their varieties are nice and there is a yellow variety too. One more, if you like red, is silene regina which attracts humingbirds and is also a native plant. Okay one more. Culver's root-veronicastrum virginicum is under used and very unique with it's tall, spikey white flowers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and realistic experience with plants and their true habits in contrast with descriptions which can be misleading in catalogs or online.

Lisa I too have Prairie Blue-Eyed Grass!! It is - in my opinion - quite possibly the cutest of the tiny flowers! I found it growing wild here in Central Texas while visiting a horse pasture, and after seeing it, I could not get it out of my mind. I was obsessed!!! I researched it. Then found out where to buy the seed. So basically I Garden Stalked it until I had it my own hands!! How had this little 4 inch beauty been growing beneath my feet all these years without my noticing it until now?!! I think the way it looks just like a lawn grass when it's not in bloom is a fantastic trick, which I immediately incorporated into my own lawn. Now every Spring they pop up their beautiful tiny blue blooms, which transform my lawn into a real fairy field! This is one I think should be used more in residential areas. Especially those with Bermuda grass lawns. The Prairie Blue-Eyed Grass blends in so very well ! And the pollinators LOVE it in the Spring!!! ♡
