Thanks for mentioning that, I will add a note on zones. All should grow in zone 4, but Caladium should be treated as an annual in that zone as it's really only hardy in zones 9-11. But it's such a pretty addition to the shaded areas I wanted to include it in the list. I will put a note in the article about zones though!

I am in zone 4 and I am starting a new shade garden. I think most of the flowers you mentioned will grow here but I question a couple of them. Thank you for the info,,,it is very helpful for my new upcoming shade garden. I am so excited to get it started.

Currently, we have a whole bunch of hellebores and astilbes and the both put on such a stunning display, but I need to see if I can find some caladium to fill in a few gaps.

I just enjoy them while I can.

Love hostas but no luck with them because deer eat mine for dessert. sigh. Voles, bunnies and Bambi stay away from my Lenten Roses, so those are the dominant plants in my shade garden at the moment. I want to find a deer-resistant fern next!

Our whole side yard is all hostas because of the low maintenance, but maybe this year we'll introduce a few of these!

I've heard people say that about it, but I've had a few different varieties of spiderwort for years and I've never had a spreading problem with them. Maybe they just don't love their location enough 🙂
