What type of flowers grow well with limited light?

The front of my house has two large trees provinding shade at least 90% of the day. I would like to do a small window box, and hope to grow flowers that do well in that environment

What type of flowers grow well with limited light?
Hosta would be too big for a small window box.


They would look awful.


Treat the window box with shade-tolerant anuals


as well as perennials.


Look at some of these excellent choices and mix them up


for a few seasons of color.


%26quot;forget-me-not%26quot;


%26quot;primrose%26quot;


%26quot;fuchsia%26quot;


%26quot;begonia%26quot;


and don%26#039;t forget %26quot;impatiens%26quot;


Good Luck!!

Reply:Any of the Hoster family will enjoy the shade but you must not let the soil become dry. They have lovely foliage and quite a few varieties. Many of the ericaceous or peat loving shrubs such as Camelias, Rhodedendrons and Azaleas come in dwarf form and have beautiful flowers. Many flowers will grow out of direct sunlight although yhey may not thrive as well as those with more light. Go to a garden centre and look at the labels on the plants. Most will tell you what kind of environment they like.
Reply:You should first state what zone you live in. No sun or part sun? No sun, Hostas for sure, also columbine, pulminaria, some types of phlox, ferns do well with no/little sun. Go to a gardening center near where you live and ask. I always get help when I ask. All these are perenials and will come back every year and multiply so you can give them as gifts, but I prefer to garden in the ground. Oops, now I see you want them in a planter - the columbine have pretty assorted shaped flowers with many different colors. When the flowers seed, bend over and shake the dry pods and they will reseed. Don%26#039;t have to keep buying flowers.
