What are some good shade tolerant hanging plants?

I rent and don't want to plant. I only have a small porch in which to have plants. I like hanging baskets but I don't get alot of sun.

What are some good shade tolerant hanging plants?
Hello. One of the main shade plants most people use in hanging baskets are impatients because of the colour. Begonias are also very popular. You may also plant fuschias, some varieties of trailing petunias can take some shade, and there are a variety of trailing plants that are just foliage, but look nice. Google shade hanging baskets and look at the suggestions.
Reply:Try the plant known as Wandering Jew. Colorful and can be grown indoors as well. It also takes well to cutting creating more plants!
