begonia's are full sun plants.
Lentil roses will grow in very deep shade conditions and they bloom in winter.

Awesome!! Thanks for all of the suggestions Now I have lots of motivation and inspiration!!!
Another question for Coleus owners:
Where is the best place for them? Do they need a litte sun, or none at all?

Watch your coleus carefully at 50 degrees they will die. We are still getting some cold nights here. They will give better color and more compact plants if they get a little sun.
Search The Garden Helper:
The spot is the first thing everyone sees when they come to my house, and it is SO ugly and bare! What would grow good there? I have some wizard coleus that needs a home, would it do okay?
Also, I have seen some really pretty rose begonia at a garden center, I wonder if that could be an option?
