Reply:impatins, geraniums, most ground cover, bleeding hearts, forget me nots, johnny jump ups, pansys, primrose, lilly of the valley, begonia, foxglove,
Reply:Impatiens are the best. Bloom constantly. They do require a lot of water.
Reply:Begonias and impatiens,however both need lots of moisture.You might try filling in with a few varieties of hosta.
Reply:Most begonias, impatience, some azalea will do fine in full shade. Africa violets will do well, but water only when any sun cannot hit leaves.
Reply:Many of these plants are available at home improvement/ nursery stores and nurseries...all are part to full shade.
