whats a good flower to plant in an area that gets no sunshine?

Question

Impatients havn't worked. Literally 0 sunlight.

Answer 1

Hostas grow well in the shade. They increase in size each year. Their bloom is on a long stalk with a delicate little bloom. Other choices may be explored by visiting online seed and plant catalog sites. Many wildflowers that grow in forests are attainable for planting in shady areas.

Answer 2

Depends on your climate, amount of space, etc.

Go to any gardening website; deternine your climate zone first & then look under SHADE GARDENS or shade loving plants. You might look at ground covering shade plants depending on your needs.

Some ivies, clematis (vines with pretty flowers), Lillies-of-the-Valley, coleus, some gingers, vinca & hostas might do.

I prefer to buy fewer annuals as they need to be replaced & planted again ever year. I prefer perennials; they return yearly when kept healthy.

Answer 3

Yes def Hostas or as far as flowers impaitents love shade.

Answer 4

Oh, you totally need to go with hostas. They are great plants. They do great with no sun and come back every year!
