I need best flowering plants for fall, i have a shady garden.?
Plants for a shady garden :


Astilbe (Astilbe) Light to dense shade, zones 4-8.


has tall plumes of white, red, purple, or pink flowers that rise above glossy, dark green foliage. It likes cool, moist, humus-rich soil, but needs good drainage. I really like the fact that besides the different colors ..they also come in varied heights. You can put the tall ones in the back %26amp; the short ones in the front of your garden ;)


Some of mine bloomed earlier, but I have a pink one that is still blooming now.





Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis). Light shade to full sun, zones 3-9 bears tall spikes of bright red flowers from midsummer to fall. Mine are still blooming.http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/gall...


"It looks really good interplanted with its sibling great blue lobelia (L. siphilitica) with its blue flowers matching the cardinal flowers in intensity of color, and their similar bloom time."


"The plants were truly lovely %26amp; the flowers seemed to "glow" in the dense shade. A really true brilliant red."

Aster novi-belgii (Michaelmas Daisy) In shades of pink, purple, blue and white, these delicate daisy-like blossoms start popping open in late August and continue on until frost. Asters like full sun but will grow in partial shade:

Reply:Try some mums. They are nice and after a few years will fill out. You can get them in white, orange, brown, golden yellow, purple, marroon, or a light pink.
