Shade Plants — Natural beauty for the most discreet corners

A north-facing balcony, a shaded terrace, or an inner courtyard do not prevent creating a green and welcoming space. The Shade Plants collection brings together varieties that thrive without direct sun and retain all their brilliance in the softness of the shade.

Ferns, hostas, ivies, or hydrangeas... these plants prefer filtered light and light humidity. Their graphic foliage and deep green shades bring freshness, calm, and elegance to your outdoor space. Perfect for recreating a soothing and refreshing atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Plants made for shade

Shade plants are distinguished by their dense foliage and ability to capture even the slightest light. They transform often neglected areas into true green cocoons.

Ferns and aspidastras: perfect for damp corners, with soft and decorative foliage.
Hostas: their broad, veined leaves beautifully structure shaded flower beds.
Hedera & ivies: hardy climbers, ideal for covering walls and trellises in the shade.
Hydrangeas: generous and colorful blooms even without direct sunlight.
Caladiums and begonias: spectacular and colorful foliage, perfect for adding contrast.

Create a living and harmonious shaded space

Shade is not a constraint, but an opportunity to create a soft, fresh, and elegant atmosphere. These plants bring structure and nuances to your outdoor space without requiring strong light.

Vary textures: combine broad leaves and fine foliage for a balanced visual effect.
Play with shades: mix deep greens, silvers, or variegated for a refined look.
Favor humidity: shade plants like slightly cool soil, ideally mulched or covered with decorative moss.
Use suitable pots: matte ceramic, natural fiber, or brushed metal for a contemporary atmosphere.

Easy daily maintenance

These plants require little care but appreciate a balanced environment between coolness and drainage. Regular maintenance ensures their beauty all year round.

Watering: light but regular, especially in summer or dry weather.
Substrate: rich and well-drained to avoid excess stagnant water.
Fertilizer: a mild organic feed in spring stimulates growth.
Cleaning: remove dry leaves to maintain dense and healthy foliage.

Ambiance & decoration

Shade plants create a calm and natural atmosphere, ideal for relaxation areas. Pair them with natural materials — wood, stone, rattan — and soft lighting to enhance their foliage.

Add some trailing or hanging plants to emphasize verticality and add depth to your shaded space.
