I love all plants so flowers,trees anything that is colorful? I got plants that are green but none that has color?lily of the valley is planted,dragon blood,autumn joy which when I looked today is setting yellow flowers? did plant two peat pots of lavender and it is not dead yet? It will be in the front so hope someone can give me some ideas?Thank you

Bleeding hearts,lupines and certain varieties of columbine. I also have a weigela, I am defying the odds with it. It is growing and blooming (not as well as if it got more sun)but growing none the less. You could also try hydrangeas.

I have a shady side to a fence I have between my mom's and me and I am doing all Coleus this year.. I want to see if the differnt varieties show up better than tryin' to do some flowers ~ that struggle..
If it works, some day I may invest in a bunch of different Caladiums....
Columbines and Lupines are very easy, and self sow, so there is not much to them once planted..
