both nicotiana and mirabilis jalapa "four o-clocks" are shade tolerant
flowers. However, in many climates both are annual plants. However, they
require little care after planting. (Depending on climate, you can also
plant them by seed, saving some money)

Am I asking too much?

I'd love to plant anything fragrant that can tolerate full to partial
shade under my newborn's bedroom window.

Thanks in advance for any help-
Erin
