Shade Perennials
Don’t leave the shady part of your landscape bare. Brighten any dark corner of your garden with our large selection of shade perennials. We have gorgeous woodland varieties that will bring color and beauty to your yard. We stock plants that offer gorgeous foliage and flowers, but only require three to four hours of direct sun. Some great options available at Homestead Gardens include violas, ferns, geraniums, monkshoods, bleeding hearts (dicentra), Dutchman’s breeches, foxgloves, toad lilies, hostas, and more. These shade perennials offer a combination of stunning foliage and colorful blooms. Many varieties are also deer- and rabbit-resistant for those who struggle with visiting wildlife in the garden.
Plant our shade perennials as a woodland border or around the base of trees. Use them to fill a shaded, struggling flower bed along the back of your home, or any other area that receives less-than-full sun. Make the sheltered spots in your garden some of the greatest points of interest. Visit Homestead Gardens for a wide selection of easy-to-grow shade perennials that will bring stunning color to your garden year after year.
Ground Covers
Ground cover plants are extremely useful in landscape design. They offer both beauty and extreme practicality. Ground covers are perfect for those areas of your lawn that are too steep or rough to mow. They also make excellent edges for flower beds, driveways, and paths. Additionally, they’re helpful for weed suppression around trees, shrubs, and other perennial plantings.
We offer a variety of perennial ground covers at Homestead Gardens. You’ll find a plant to meet your landscaping needs. We carry ground covers that will tolerate full sun and shade, as well as light, moderate, and heavy traffic. A few of our favorites are creeping thyme, creeping phlox, sedum, heuchera, plumbago, and brass buttons. We offer healthy, productive plants that will multiply and spread naturally, helping you cover large areas with gorgeous plants. The Homestead Gardens staff knows ground covers! Come in and talk to them about what ground cover is right for your yard.
