Dry shade can be a bit of a challenge for the non native gardener (see related shade article). This plan includes Indian plum to lighten the landscape in the early spring. Vanilla leaf is a great dry shade ground cover that will ramble through the landscape showing off its pinwheel shape. Larger shrubs are kept away from the house to allow for maintenance and to reduce problems with plants growing under siding
