I would appreciate a list of perennial herbs that will grow in a shady environment?John Steven's book, "Gardening With Herbs" (available from Richters) has a very nice section called "Habitats in the Garden" in which herbs are suited for each of six major environmental zones including fully shaded and partially shaded habitats. Under fully shaded habitats he recommends herbs like perwinkle, primrose (cowslip), sweet woodruff, columbine, scullcap, and wintergreen among others. For partially shaded areas he suggests dog rose, sweet cicely, yarrow, betony, comfrey, and sweetbriar rose.
