I have a small apartment patio. It is very shady, bottom floor with trees covering the area. I live in a Zone 8 area usually warm and humid and occasinally freezes in the winter.
What I'm looking to do is make a small rain forest type of environment. I'm not a big flower guy but some color won't hurt. I do hanging pots and can build large troughs and use large pots. Just looking for ideas. Thanks in advance. :)
Ferns and hostas. Ferns come in many shapes from lacy to colored-like the japanese painted fern. Hostas also come in many sizes--from tall to small and colors from lime green to blue and variagated white and green A good ground cover to edge it is Golden Creeping Jenny moneywort
