| I live in NW Alabama, and I'm new to gardening. My yard is heavily shaded and needs a lot of help. I have hosta's, fern's, and lillys of the valley growing in the shade, and interested in adding some ground cover and foxgloves for diverisity. Can anyone reccomend an Alabama nursery or other shade loving plants that will work in my area. |

| Yes Lowe's has some lovely foxgloves and healthy too. I actually saw foxgloves at Walmarts in Springville, Alabama the other day. But it has been my experience that foxgloves do better in full sun and yet most say they are shade loving plants. |
