One of the more frustrating aspects of gardening is trying to find the proper plants for shady areas. even more difficult is creating these areas where they don't already exist. Although shade is especially important in the Sunshine State, given its tropical climate, there has been little written about how to garden for it effectively so that the end result is varied, attractive, and ecologically vibrant. Craig Huegel fills that gap with Native Florida Plants for Shady Landscapes.

Huegel carefully outlines the necessary but easy-to-follow steps of either adding plants to an existing yard or designing cool spaces from scratch. He discusses the many variables and complexities of shade gardening in Florida, exploring options for canopy, shrubs, and a variety of colorful annuals and perennials that can tolerate even the darkest of areas.
