Types of Shade-Loving Trees and Plants

A plant's light requirements can vary when it comes to shade. Some plants will tolerate dense shade while others will still be considered shade plants, even though they require some amount of light.

Remember: Please read each specific plant's light requirements when choosing shade trees from this list!

Dense Shade: Trees and plants that require dense shade should not receive direct sunlight.

Shade: These trees and plants should receive dappled sun, bright reflected light, or less than 2 hours of direct sunlight a day.

Part Shade: These trees and plants should receive 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight or a combination of morning sun and afternoon shade.

Get peace of mind: We guarantee your plants will arrive alive and ready to thrive! If you’re not satisfied or have issues with your plants within the first 30 days, we will replace them for you.

Growing zone matters: Plants that are not suited for your growing zone will not be covered by this guarantee. If you’re not sure whether a plant will work for your location, our Plant Experts are here to help!

Note on dormancy: If you order a deciduous tree in winter or spring and it arrives without leaves, it is likely dormant. If your tree does not start showing growth by that June, we'll be happy to help!

Drop N Grow™

Because this tree is grown in a burlap bag, its roots grow into the cloth, rather than circling around the pot. This brings moisture and nutrients into the tree, for faster, healthier growth and ease. Simply dig your hole, place the Drop 'N Grow™ bag in the center (burlap included), then use excess dirt to fill the hole. That's it!
