Dry shade usually refers to areas found under the canopy of large deciduous trees. Plants here compete for moisture with the trees and soils tend to be droughty. Areas such as this are difficult to successfully grow perennials. While the plants listed will grow under these conditions, they will do so only once established. This means they will need to be irrigated regularly to establish a good root system that is then able to compete for moisture successfully.
