Reply:Hostas grow good in shade. Also, annuals like impatients grow in shade. The less green a plant is, the less sun it needs, i.e., any plant that is varigated, that is, has white and green mix on the leaves, do well in shade.

Reply:Ferns are great when you have a large area. Plant them in the back and add smaller flowering plants in the front.
