What kind of flowers should I planet in low/no sun areas?

I'm a first-time gardener with a small area that my landlord is allowing me to try to plant. The front area does get some sun exposure in late morning/early afternoon, but back against the building itself there is very little to no sun. What types of plants should I be looking to use?

Begonias are good -wax begonias are short and have small flowers (but hundreds of them) and tuberous or non-stop begonias have big showy flowers. Coleus comes in many foliage colors including pink and burgundy, and there are a zillion new coleus coming out now. The common houseplant, spider plant, has grass-like leaves and is white and green, and the babies can be potted up at this time and then planted with other annuals in groups in the shade. Rex begonias have bright purple leaves. New Guinea Impatiens do well in part shade and have larger, brighter flowers than the regular type. Look, too, for a perennial called Persecaria "Firetail" - it blooms pink bottle-brush flowers (good for cutting) from July to hard frost - gets about 3 -4 feet high, and does well in shade or part shade. Also, if your local garden center carries Proven Winner Plants, look for torenia and the several types of upright fuchias they are offering.
Reply:Bleeding Hearts, I have mine in a pure shade area and it does great.
Reply:Astillebe, hosta, simisafuga( beautiful flowers), and some types of clematis(a vine). those are all perennials. Impatients come in several different colors but they're annual so they won't come back.
Reply:Four 0'clocks. I remember as a kid I planted a batch in a semi-shady area and they kept coming back year after year -- they are perrenials. They thrived!

Reply:Impatiens are great. And you might also want to try plants that have colorful leaves (hosta and coleus, for example) but don't flower. Some people use vines but I find these too hard to control and too boring.
Reply:ferns ,they do very well in the shade they burn easy in the sun light and they are not picky about their soil and dont require as much water as some also they get good sized so they can take a bit of space compared to some flowers
Reply:vines.
Reply:Hostas, Lamium, Siberian Bugloss, and Polemonium (Jacob's Ladder), They all have a lot of different cultivars with many different leaf colors.
