Shade herbs and edibles
    #21578730 - 04/21/15 11:59 PM (9 years, 29 days ago)

What are some of your favorite herbs and ethnobotanicals to grow that prefer shade?

There is a location in my backyard that I wanted to make into a bed for shade plants.
It gets about an hour direct sun and then light shade for the rest of the day.

I'm also in Zone 8.

Hydrangea like shade a lot. I have three plants next to each other that are in the ground and the most beautiful among the three is the one which takes only morning sun for approximately two hours.

Do you mean Hydrangea Serrata? Because most common Hydrangeas contain cyanide.
I'm really just looking for things that are useful for medicine or food to be grown under

So far I'm planning on Yarrow, Ginger, Parsley, a variety of Thyme, a variety of Mint, and some wild Onions that were collected locally.
Look and taste more like chives, but they're really good. :yesnod:

Lemon Balm, Hawthorn, Anise Hyssop, Sweet Woodruff, Pennyroyal, Angelica.

I've gotta an oregano that's been doing good in the shade for a while too.

Ah yes, I forgot that oregano can do well in partial shade.

Are the common hawthorns found at plant nurseries of medicinal value? I was unaware of their medicinal properties until now.

Yes mint will certainly be choking out most of the weeds in my shadiest of areas.
I already have peppermint and spearmint going in one section.

I was really planning for less aggressive herbs that would need a dedicated plot of amended and prepared soil to thrive.


I'll throw mint just about damn-near-anywhere, and it will out compete the most persistent of weeds.

Mint for sure. my dad has a beautiful one under his huge elm in the front yard. It does not receive sun and is one of those spots where even in the summertime you can sit there and drink beer like aking.

I had a bunch of mint growing under my tree as well, but after four years of it being there and me never using it nor having a need for fresh mint even once, I decided to get rid of it and plant something else.  It certainly is a hardy plant that spreads quite well on it's own and comes back year after year. 

To answer your question, ginger is a shade lover and supposedly doesn't require much attention at all.

After some reading, hawthorn isn't technically a shade lover. But it can tolerate it.

Not too certain about the properties of other hawthorn species.

It's used for a number of different reasons.
But I've always known it as a "heart tonic".


Here's a bit I pulled from a site.

Hawethorn
Crataegus laevigata,  C. oxyacantha


Medicinal properties:
The flowers, leaves and fruits of the Hawthorn have properties that reduce blood pressure
and stimulate the heart, as well as act as a mild sedative.
In herbal medicine they treat heart and circulatory disorders, migraine,
menopausal conditions, angina, and insomnia.
The flowers are strongest as sedatives, and used externally can treat acne and skin blemishes.
The berries (also known as "Pixie Pears") contain Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C.
They can be crushed and used to ease diarrhea, dysentery, and kidney disorders.
It is strongly advised against self medication because of the its effects on the heart.

Reading more, perhaps it's not the safest plant to mess around with. :lol:

Used for:
The berries have been used in traditional medicine since the first century, and contain phytonutrients called anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins, antioxidants that have a variety of therapeutic effects including strengthening the walls of blood vessels. Extracts of hawthorn berries, leaves and blossoms also contain compounds that have a tonifying effect on the heart and vascular system. Hawthorn has been studied for its use in treating health concerns related to the heart and blood vessels. This includes congestive heart failure, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, low and high blood pressure, angina, atherosclerosis, and high cholesterol. A meta-analysis based on data from 14 studies concluded that a hawthorn extract offers "significant benefit" as an adjunct to conventional treatment of chronic heart failure. Specifically, symptoms including shortness of breath and fatigue were significantly alleviated, compared to placebo treatment.
