Do "coral belles" grow in a dense shade area?
Half of my back yard is treed, and I am looking for something with color
to grow under the trees.
I have some grass, but its quite sparse and dose not seem to want to get thicker.

There a small 1' x 8' planter by the entrance that right now has 3
very squalid hostas a dead rose bush and some rock garden
plants..the rest of it is covered in what seems broken red brick
pieces.
It looks really bad and I would love to have something nice there
to welcome people coming to my home...


I like impatiens and they grow and spread fast. Coleus, caladiums,
hostas are also very nice. Ferns and pothos do well in shady areas,
though they arent cold hardy.

My lil piece of garden in the Caribbean.

Ferns are cold hardy.
