BEGONIAS
- Ok. so some people think of these as old fashioned. But there is almost nothing better for a pop of color in a semi-shady to shady area. They are fantastic in a container by themselves or in a mixed container with other shade loving plants. They are easy, easy, easy and bloom almost non-stop until frost.
Part shade to shade (And even sun).

CALIBRACHOAS (Superbells, Callies, Neos...)
- There are so many calibrachoas out there it makes your eyes cross. But the varieties I carry have proven to be some of the most reliable and vigorous for me. And of course I try a few different varieties each year. If they pass muster they get to come back. I love the Callies, which have shown good resistance to root diseases. Sun to part sun (but the more sun the better). Great for containers and hangers.

LOBELIA
- Simply addictive because of their vibrant blues. They look stunning in containers. Unfortunately they have a tendency to be a cooler weather plant. However, the 'Techno' series handles the heat better then most and has bloomed reliably for me well into the summer.
But I still advise keeping them out of very hot areas and never let them dry out!

Both perennial and annual ferns are wonderful in shade planters! Ferns are beautiful on their own but combined with other shade loving plants and flowers in a planter they are even more striking.

FILLERS
- NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE FILLER!!!
Fillers not only add interest to a container they enhance the attributes of the other plants in the combination. A good filler will go all season
and start to compensate for other plants that may grow 'tired' as the season progresses.

ANNUAL GRASSES
- Adding any of these grasses to a container provides height, structure and interest. Other than making sure they do not dry out grasses require very little care. A container that utilizes a grass and a couple of fillers will continue to look attractive all season.
Annual grasses also look great planted directly in the ground. Cypress grass 'Nile Princess' even likes it a bit damp and does quite well near ponds or other water features.
