A weeping willowed \u2013 leaved pear is a beautiful addition to a shade garden. It is a slow grower and has silver leaves with a metallic sheen. A redwood Japanese maple is a dwarf variety of the maple and has soft green foliage in the spring turning to golden tinged leaves with a shade of pink in the summer and has a bright red bark in the winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]\t\t<div id=\"wd-66795f5a8c5ab\" class=\"wd-image wd-wpb wd-rs-66795f5a8c5ab text-left  svg\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"177\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/demolinks2.com\/nina-melillo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/820204_1cec412bdb2e47f48d2e28a3e492b284mv2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]\t\t<div id=\"wd-66795f767d33f\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-66795f767d33f text-left \">\n\t\t\t<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<h2 id=\"viewer-9ekn5\" class=\"_2nRm2 _7wDQO pasFp Lgome\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"_1lBjl\"><strong>Create a Color Scheme<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block96\"><\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<h3 id=\"viewer-dtdl6\" class=\"WUhtL _7wDQO pasFp Lgome\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"_1lBjl\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hook=\"rcv-block97\"><\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p id=\"viewer-784lg\" class=\"CMQuX tnihK pasFp Lgome\" dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"TuVEW\">Some people are very monochromatic. They like hues of the same color. This works very well in a typical garden, however it may be a little bland for a shaded garden. You need a variety of colors and textures to create interest. However, by adding annuals in containers as borders around your pathway or by a patio with a bench, you can create a color scheme if you so desire. It could be cool colors, warm colors, monochromatic, or a variety of both.
