What flowers grow good in shade?
Pansies or impatiens will work well, but if you want greenery instead with just a small amount of flower, I’d plant hostas. They love the shade, and the showy part is the leaves. They come in all sizes, from about 6″ to about 3′, and the leaves are all different shades of green, from yellow-green to blue-green. You can also find striped leaves and/or textured ones. Check for hosta clubs or hosta growers in your area for a great variety. They love shade; in fact, the more shade the better. They’re also perennials, so you don’t have to replant every year. And they’re easy to grow. I have a front yard full, and I usually have a black thumb.
