More likely because it cannot take long, cold, dark winters. (It is one of
many attractive plants I can't grow where I live.)

I admire you for learning English. You do it well enough to communicate.

It would be much better if we all used the Latin names. English common
names are not always the same from one area to another and can be
confusing.

The person making that post has altered his e-mail address to protect
him from spamming. Those are instructions for correcting the address.
I have similar instructions in my signature.
On topic:
I have Corydalis lutea, Geranium macrorrhizum, Polygonatum odoratum
'varigatum', various Hosta, and Epidmedium growing well in my very
shadiest areas. Also Uvularia grandiflora and Hepatica acutiloba, two
native Michigan plants.
The Corydalis is the longest blooming plant in my garden
every year, with flowers from early May through October always. This
year I had one plant still flowering on the first day of December!
