Understorey Plants

Hills residents know that trying to grow plants under the shade of a big Marri tree can be a challenge. Their hungry roots and the lower level of sunlight doesn’t suit all plants. Here is a list of plants (some of which are in our plant sale) that should not mind growing in the shade or part-shade.
