What kinds pretty flowers grow well in the shade?

Some perennials (they come back every year) are Lilly of the valley, it's beautiful; you can find it in bulb or plant form, bleeding heart, fuchsia is beautiful and unusual, (also known as "ladies eardrops) and toad lillies, which are very unique. Vinca is a good vining ground cover that has pretty purple flowers, it's also a perennial. Shrubs that do well are azaleas and hydrangea bushes. Annuals (will not come back) that enjoy shade are impatiens, Lenten rose (very pretty and unusual), wax begonias, wishbone flower and violets. I have some shade in my yard, too, so I've done some research!  more
