Gardening in Shade

just the right plant

13 years ago

Not sure it's that much of a shade issue. It gets a little sun, but also it's for a container.

Basically, I want something that will bloom like crazy from Spring through Fall in a large clay pot in the partial shade. That's what my Abutilons do in that spot. If it only blooms Summer & Fall, that's ok, too. Any suggestions? Thanks

I think you want annuals. Impatiens will do fine.

This past spring, I put plumbago in a container in the same light conditions you describe and it was fabulous all summer and fall!
