Most flowering plants need plenty of sun, but there are good choices for shade too.
Light levels
- Full sun: six or more hours of direct sun a day
- Part sun or part shade: three to six hours
- Shade: less than three hours of direct sun
- Watch your spot through a day before planting
For shade
Impatiens, begonias, astilbe, hellebores and bleeding heart are popular choices for shadier spots.
