Partial Shade flowers?

TopazHancock
21 years ago

I have a one spot left for a garden bed and I would love for it to be a moon garden. It gets shade (it's not dark, just not direct sun) most of the day, but Texas sun in the late afternoon.

Any suggestions?

My morning glories did eventually grow last year, but they were kinda unimpressive in that bed.

(IndigoBlues Girl - this is all your fault! Because you pointed me here, I'm dying for a moon garden!)
