Problem Spot with sun and shade

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for plants that do well in varied amounts of sun and shade depending on the time of year? We have a spot near our house in the backyard that gets very little sun in the winter but is quite hot and sunny in the summer. I was trying to find a medium sized bush to plant there but I haven't been able to find anything because of the varied sun exposure.

thanks, sonia

Nobody can help you unless you give some sort of indication of where you are on this earth. I have lots of ideas for this situation in my Zone 10b climate- is that helpful at all to you?

Boxwood's doing beautifully in a spot like that in my yard. Two hours of sun in the morning, deep shade until late in the day, then another two hours of sun.

How about Butterfly bushes? They attract pretty butterflies. Come in many colors.
