Shade Tolerant Bulbs

Daffodils can tolerate a bit of shade, but if they get less than half a day of sun, they may not bloom in future years. In warm climates, a bit of afternoon shade (even for sun-lovers like tulips) can be a good thing, helping to prolong bloom and keep flower colors from fading.
