I love Rex begonias but where I live they are SO expensive as are caladiums. I put three tuberous begonias in pots out into my shade garden and they are loving it – I will remove the pots for the winter so they do not rot. I am Down Under.
Thanks for the recommendations. I have fuchsia in a container & techno electric blue lobelia in the landscape. Lobelia is in more sun. It’s a beautiful, showy blue. Neighbors have asked me about it multiple times.
I’ve become quite impressed with caladiums! I’ll be using a few of them on our front porch again this year.
Hakonechloa gold really brightens up my shade garden in Pennsylvania zone 5 & adds textural interest as well
Helpful video! Thank you!
I have a stinking vole in my woodland shade garden. I used castor oil, red pepper, garlic, mixture. I just put on mouse traps — sorry but I love my plants more than voles. So far, the rodent (s) only eats confer roots. Should I put eaten conifers in pots until vole goes away.
My grandmother always grew impatiens. I grow them because they remind me of her.
Nice seeing your wife here, I get the feeling she isn’t as “talkative” as you.. ☺️ but that’s quite alright!!
Enjoyed it.I use all of these plants for shade containers, especially on my front porch, which is in shade.
Are any off these deer resistant other than the begonias?
Another great video!
I mixed some spider plant cuttings in with other annuals in a large pot on my patio last year! Very striking! Fun to think outside the box!
Love this video. Thank you for so much information!
I was at Fairview for the last 2 Saturdays, love that place!! Thanks for focusing on shade plants. I definitely can use that information.
I’d actually like to know which plants self seed, including the aggressive self seeders. I’m working with bindweed so desirable aggressive plants I’m all ears.
Here in pensacola fl I love the tricolor ginger coleus carex they are perineal here I’m amazed after 4 days of freeze a coleus in container came back like a rockstar!!! Thanks so much Jim &Stephanie for great shade content!!! ❤
I love Fairview! My daughter-in-law took me there in January to get house plants 🪴. We live in Williamsburg VA and we don’t have any nice big garden centers , only the box stores.
what a great garden center!
Why did my white hellebore flowers turn green? They are very happy, just a pale green now.
Add browallia to your shade annual list. Pretty easy to grow from seed as they are hard to find in a nursery. I have white and blue growing.
Sweet alyssum is my absolute favorite!
Jim,
Are New Guinea Impatients & regular Impatients closely related? What is the difference between them?
Also, how does a plant produce 2 different colors on opposite sides of the same leaf?
Thank you. 😊
Sigh. As a resident of Columbia South Carolina, I have to say that we are definitely in the bush leagues (no pun intended) when it comes to cool local nurseries.
I so appreciate you always thinking about covering shade plants – annuals and perennials, shrubs and trees. Our trees just keep growing and there’s only so much trimming our landscapers can do without risking their lives. And I wouldn’t want them to. So we just have to live with full shade and dappled sun. Before your videos and those of Jenny @CreeksideNursery and @LindaVater, I’ve struggled to figure out what I can plant in my garden beds and under tree canopies. Thank you for thinking of us with shade gardens and how we can add color and substance.
Never heard of some of these, thank you!!!!
My woodland shade garden has lots of Sweet Woodruff! Gorgeous shaped leaves and comes back every year.
My favorite annuals are morning glories! I love their leaf structure, the way they climb, and their happy flowers. 🌺
I love dichondra. I planted it as a spiller in my container. I've since discovered that it must be primo nesting material as the backyard birds have been removing all the hanging pieces and I'm left with more of a filler instead of a spiller! That's okay. It will grow back. The birds are always in the yard eating bugs, so they're helping me out too. A small birdbath positioned under a mature dogwood tree is what attracts tons of birds to my yard. I'm in Georgia in Zone 7B.
This year I ordered Solenia begonias … I love tuber begonias in my shade garden !
