Re: Shade tolerant shrubs

Butcher's broom - ruscus grows well in shade, it's also prickly! Has small flowers and nice dark green leaves. Some euphorbias will stand shade. Ivies would make ground cover, some variegated ones look good. There is a variegated pachysandra for ground cover too. Don't know what your soil is thbough. Berberis is another idea for prickles!
