What should I plant in an area that receives little to no sun? I live in the downstate NY area. Thanks!?

I would like something colorful and tall it is at the back of a flowerbed right up against my house. The rest of the flowerbed gets the full PM sun.

What should I plant in an area that receives little to no sun? I live in the downstate NY area. Thanks!?

Good luck! Pick several varieties to cover all the seasons. I didn't include any shrubs because they don't do well 'right up against a house". Hope this is helpful.
Reply:HYDRANGEA-THEY WILL GET TALLER WHICH IS GOOD NEXT TO THE FOUNDATION, THEY ARE SHADE LOVERS AND THEY GET BIG BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS
Reply:Try some Dahlia's, I plant those on the North side of my home, I'm In Wisconsin....But those need to be planted after the ground thaws, and is a bit warm in the spring. And they grow up to 4 feet tall.... lots of water....

Reply:Check out Ornamental grasses with your local nursery, such as dwarf Hamlin.
Reply:Astilbe, bleeding hearts, hosta, ferns, cameilla and oats grass. There isn't much to pick from when your dealing with shade. These are perennials. An annual, which is colorful is impatients. None of these are tall, for the back of the flower bed. Foxgloves are tall and colorful and I think can deal with shade, makes a nice cut flower. Find out the zone you are in and look up plants on the internet.
