Having a lush green backyard is great, but having a multicoloured garden is much better. If you still haven’t planted any flowers in your yard, here are seven colourful choices you have that grow in the shade and are easy to maintain.
Lily of the Valley – These tiny white flowers are easy to grow and tend to add a more sophisticated touch to any garden. The plants thrive in deep shade and tend to emit a charming aroma during the spring and early summer. Many landscape designers use the lily of the valley to brighten up yards with shady corners.- Alpine Forget-Me-Not – Add a hue of azure blue by planting these flowers in your backyard. They may seem fragile and delicate but the truth is that they are quite resilient as they flourish in dry shade (a quite harsh condition for plants and flowers).
- Jacob’s Ladder – Every garden should have Jacob’s ladders. These purple flowers have a bell-shape and are easy to combine with other colourful flowers. The best aspect of these tiny flowers is that they tolerate both shade and sun, and are perennial, which means that you will be able to enjoy them for several years.
- Solomon’s Seal – This is a perfect border plant and blooms in the shade. It has a graceful arching stem that produces several tubular white flowers and long, bright green leaves. Gardeners adore this particular flower as it gives a more gentle touch to any landscape and is relatively easy to maintain.
- Anemone Blanda Blue – Another purplish-blue coloured flower that blossoms in the shade. However unlike the previous flowers from this list, the Anemone Blanda Blue is classified as a winter windflower and requires small amounts of sun, which means that you should plant it in an area of your garden that is partially in shade.
- Lungwort – You can easily call the Lungwort a multi-coloured flower. It blooms in early spring and produced clusters of funnel shaped flowers that are initially pink and then turn blue. The Lungwort also has dark leaves with white spots. Just like the lily of the valley, these flowers thrive in the deep shape and are classified as groundcover plants.
- Viola – As the name suggests it, these flowers are violet and are extremely common because of the fact that they have a huge genus which includes between 400 and 500 species. The main popularity of the viola is due to its heart shape.

Don’t worry about the price of rubbish removal services as nowadays contractors work with highly affordable prices.
Bonus: Cowslip Primrose- This groundcover flowers will give a warm mood to you garden and make you feel as if you are walking over the sun’s surface as it comes in two colours, yellow and red and has lush green foliage.
