Shade Gardening: What grows in the dark, practically?, 1 by doss

Good morning!. Thought you might like some idea exactly how dark this corner is. These are princess flower plants, ferns, a hosta (light ones like these do better in more sun), mondo. You can see the Ligularia (it's spotted, looks like dappled sunshine) it's evergreen. Can't say enough good things about it. There are some azaleas back there that really don't bloom but the foliage is good. You will be surprised what will grow in the shade.

As far as the dog sticks go, they only work if you go out with your dogs and re-potty train them. It's a pain. Unless you're willing to forgo the corner they've chosen, you might as well give them the pills. It doesn't hurt them. There are some products that will help them avoid an area, but if their habits are already established, well it's tough. How big are your dogs? Have a picture?
