Hi, I've added a series of pages to the wiki taken from suggestions given by members of the pbs list for bulbs that members have found do well growing in the shade. We had a Topic of the Week for this in 2003, but I've included suggestions from other threads on the subject. If anyone wants to suggest additional species or genera that do well for them growing in the shade that were not included feel free to suggest them and I'll add them time permitting. One of the things that struck me when working on this was how much it depended on where you lived. A number of people suggested Narcissus for instance and that surprised me since this genus does best where I live in the full sun and most of the ones I've planted in my mostly shady garden I never see blooming. But a number of species and cultivars people in my location have planted in full sun seem to do really well. My winters can be wet and dark and perhaps people with dryer sunnier winters can get away with planting them in more shade. And it's important to point out that what is considered to be shade varies and some things may grow well in sun or shade. At the time of the Topic of the Week Boyce Tankersley listed favorites from the different places he lived and that made a lot of sense since he had lived in dramatically different climates. I hope you will find these pages useful. The different choices can be found from the index page. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue
