Impatiens tend to blosson and grow well in the shade. Every year we plant them in our shaded areas and they grow like crazy.
Reply:you can find many shade loving plants such as hosta, but very few flowering plants will do well in the shade. Where do you live, is the location dry or damp?
Reply:impatients.
Reply:if you type it in .............it willl tell you hun
Reply:Hostas, periwinkles, lilly of the valley, some ferns.
Reply:you could plant hostas. there are many different kinds. you could put a gazing ball in the middle of them for more color. impatients are good but use white they show up very well in shade.
Reply:Impatiens love shade and moisture. And they bloom constantly and you don't have to dead head them and they come in all colors and they come back every year(in georgia) and they dont get too big and........have I convinced you? A wonderful little flower. The white ones really brighten up a shady area.
