Hello gardening buddies!! I have a new shade gardening bed and I'm planting perennials I have white campanula's planted with hosta's and thought something that bears red flowers would look so neat there mix with the other plants?Does anyone have any ideas,sure need some help here.Bye rita

Japanese Painted Fern Ursula's Red

This might work and it likes the shade like the hosta's do.

are claduims with some red shades in them.is one that has whiteish leaves with some green veining,but has some red dot like things.A low grower.
are shade impatients& are some with red flowers or white with the red dots.
Dianthus will flower some in shade if keept fertilized.
is some red cosmos,if get some bright light it will flower,but not like in sun
And are some short lilyput zinnia& i've seen the narrowleaf grown in some shade down by ball field.
Red pentas are nice.
petunias will flower in shade,but will be scantly,but are some hybrids out that will flower in a shadier spot.
I have some red salvia in my shade bed,but does get some morning sun.its lady in red.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
