Any ideas on what flowers grow in shaded areas?

By admin | August 14, 2008

AthenaGenesis asked:

I have a flower bed up against the back of my house and which is completely covered by the overhead deck. I want to plant some plants there, but don’t know which flowers grow best in very shaded areas? Also there is a large rabbit population in my neighborhood and would like to plant flowers that the rabbits wouldn’t be so eager to eat.

Thank you in advance.
If cat hair works, would dog hair do????

Itsmyopinion - haha what a smart@$$ remark - I like it, sounds like something I would say. ;-) Wow!!!
Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming.

      Hostas will come back year after year. There are many different varieties. Coleus grows well in shade as well as impatiens
