These are the best 10 shrubs to grow in the shade and can immediately change the aspect of your garden:
1. Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas shine out in shady areas, especially those with white flowers. They also make a good leafy backdrop for other plants when they are not in flower. These shrubs are very easy to maintain and can transform the way your garden looks immediately. If you have a lot of shade in your garden, you should definitely opt for them.
2. Sarcococca
Sarcococca loves shade! Depending on your taste, you can opt for different kinds of Saracococca. For example, one of the most loved and popular ones is Sarcococca hookeriana with her pink-tinged flowers. It has long, pointed leaves and scented blooms, while Sarcococca ruscifolia is more compact. Keep in mind that the leaves can lose luster and may burn in full sun.

I would really like it if you would include hardiness zones with these articles. I am a beginning gardener and I live in a fairly cold place.
I live in Florida and have no shade. I am just outside of Tallahassee. I am hoping in the future you could do an article for plants that do not burn up in the sun. Thanks
