Which plants flower best in a shaded area of a garden?
All the flowers suggested so far are great! I too love the impatiens, hydrangeas, fuchsias and begonias. Also, I have had great luck with coleus in the shade. There are so many beautiful varieties. I get more compliments on the coleus than all my other flowers. You can plant them singly or in groups. I like the varieties that get very full and tall. Here's a link I found with some pictures http://www.rareplants.com/downer/index.h...

Hydrangeas love allot of water and an acidic fertilizer.
