Shade Garden Starter — 5 × #1 Gallon Shade Perennials
The Easy Way to Fill a Shaded Twin Cities Yard
Most Twin Cities homes have at least one challenging shaded area — under a mature oak, along the north side of the foundation, beneath a deck. This starter pack puts together 5 of our most reliable, deer-resistant shade performers in a single bundle so you can start a whole shaded border with one purchase.
What's Included (5 × #1 Gallon)
- 1 Ostrich Fern — tall, native, structural backbone of any MN shade garden ($12.99 individually)
- 1 Berry Smoothie Coral Bells — peach-to-burgundy foliage for season-long color ($13.99 individually)
- 1 Catching Fire Foamy Bells — bold leaf patterns, frothy spring spikes ($16.99 individually)
- 1 Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart — silver-gray foliage, classic heart-shaped pink blooms ($19.99 individually)
- 1 Etain Viola — sweet-scented spring color at ground level ($10.99 individually)
Plant in: part shade to full shade. Tolerates the dense root zone under mature oaks and maples common throughout Edina, Minneapolis, and St. Paul. Deer-resistant: yes — coral bells, foamy bells, bleeding heart, and viola are all rarely browsed.
Bought separately these five total $74.95. Bundle price: $63.99 — you save $10.96, 14.6% off individual pricing. Delivered together to your Twin Cities yard, ready to plant.
Planting window: all five are herbaceous perennials, so they can go in the ground any time through the end of October.
