With the rapid expansion of ubamization, the prevalence of shaded areas within urban green spaces (such as those under buildingand forest shadows) has increased. Traditional sun-loving plants struggle to adapt to these low-light conditions, resulting in lowgreen coverage rates and monotonous landscapes. Shade-tolerant native plants, owing to their capacity to thrive in low-light environnents and their low maintenancecosts and signifcant ecological functions, have emerged as a pivotal resource for addressingthe challenges of greening shaded urban areas. In response to the three everyday shaded environments in Chengdu, this study used10 shade-tolerant indigenous plants to observe their growth over 4 months. Through three different shading treatments, the growthDerfomance of these plants in Chengdu was evaluated and screened to identify suitable shade-tolerant native plant materals fonvarious light conditions. The findings indicate that all 10 plant species are recommended for application in 20%% light environmentsThe other nine species, except stilbe Chinensis, are reconmended for application in 10% light environments. There are fouplants: Agrimonia pilosa, Pachysandra terminalis, Saxifaga stolonifera, and Asarum splendens recomumended for application in 5%light environments. Incarvillea argute and Anemone hupehensis are recommended in full sunlight.
