Dry shade plants are ideal for spots that get little sun and limited moisture—think under trees, along north-facing walls, or beneath large shrubs where roots compete for water. These tough plants are selected for their ability to thrive with minimal irrigation once established, offering reliable foliage, texture, and seasonal blooms in challenging conditions. Many also provide habitat and nectar for beneficial insects. Explore our collection of dry shade favorites and find the right plants to turn low-light, low-water areas into a lush, resilient garden.  Shop Annie’s Annuals & Perennials’ Dry Shade plants below.
