# I’m trying to make a nice backyard and I’m hoping for some plant…

_Posted by Bee on 2024-05-28_

I’m trying to make a nice backyard and I’m hoping for some plant suggestions for bushes, greenery, flowers, anything. Here are my conditions: nothing that needs full sun, the highest temp is 40 degrees Celsius(that’s rare) and the lowest is -15 ish degrees C (that’s also very rare) and it’s usually between 5 degrees C and 28 degrees C. I am around zones 7-8. I know that’s a pretty big request but any plant ideas welcome, thanks in advance! ;)

Hydrangeas ?

Hostas are good spring/summer plants. Sage bushes, salvia, cast iron plants, elephant ears, coral bells, will all work in zone 7-8, partial sun.

I’d suggest maybe azaleas or gardenias they do well in part sun. Camellias love shade.
