Reply:For perenials I love hostas. They have so many variations of leaf sizes and color and they last all season etc. They are easy to care for, put slug stuff down early and every couple of weeks. Impatients are a nice annual flower for shade. They now come in many different sizes and colors so look around if you decide on these. I also have a wonderful bleeding heart that has done great with moderate shade.
