I have NO sunlight on my patio....what flowers can I plant in pots that dont need too much sunlight?

Hostas are awesome but don't buy the green or white edged ones like wally world has. Find a good nursery and you would not believe the different combinations there are out there. Just realize that most flowers NEED sun. No sun means no flowers. If you want to spend the bucks, get some tropical plants. There are all kinds of colors in leaves to create something interesting to look at. If you really want flowers then you will have to put them in pots and move them so they get 2-3 hours of sun, them back to the patio. Go to the library and check out a good book on shade gardening. It will give you all kinds of ideas. Above all, have fun with it!

Daylillies are nice, they will come back each year. I like Impatients, if you deadhead them they will bloom all season.


I would check at the library and in some plant catalogs to get ideas. Hurry spring!
Reply:If you are just looking for greenery then Hostas are a wonderful choice. And they will come back every year! Ferns too. If you are looking for flowers, impatients come in many colors and do fantastic! I have a shade garden with several varieties of Hostas and some Ferns. I pick out different colors of Impatients every year to plant to change it up. It always looks beautiful!
