Sarcococca for very shady spot?

5 replies

I have an area of dry shade in my garden. It probably gets one hour of sun in the morning, if that, and is in shade for the rest of the day. Would a sarcococca work here and if so, are they easy to grow?

I’ve got my eye on this one but notice it says “partial shade” - does what I’ve described above qualify as partial shade? I don’t want to buy one only for it to die on me!

My Sarcococca staggered on for about 20 years under a bush and then packed it in.

Liriope should be fine.

Skimmia does Ok in almost complete shade.

Angelica will grow under trees but it is a plant of wetter soils.

My Sarcococca is in a space that has similar sunlight hours and is doing fine.

It's not dry, though. Which may make the difference.
