SPRING BLOSSOMS
Woodland phlox: This is a native plant with fragrant, soft-colored petals. “I think it’s one of the most attractive spring-blooming shade plants there is,” Jenkins says. Once established, it becomes a low-maintenance perennial.
Moss phlox: A fun, tolerant, and straightforward bloom, moss phlox is available in many different colors. A low-growing groundcover, it will thrive in sunny spots and present semi-evergreen foliage throughout the season.
Virginia bluebells: While this early native bloomer is quick to come and go, its spectacular color has earned it the top spot among many experts, including Jenkins. Buds fill shady garden floors then gracefully disappear until next year.
