Default Need a cascading flowering hanging basket in the shade

Our home faces north and our plan is to place a hanging basket on
either side of the garage (north side of the house; some morning sun)
just under the eve of the roof (about 8 feet off the ground). We want
as much colour as possible and we want it to cascade as the summer
goes on. Each year we have trouble finding such a combination ie
colour, shade, cascading. Can you suggest?


Try impatiens. Technically a perennial, you can treat it as an annual.
Many do quite well in the shade but tolerate sun. It's fast growing
and will quickly cascade and hide the basket in which it is growing.

Thanks for the reply David. I do know that impatiens does well in
shade (which for sure is our situation) but no variety that we know of
is a "cascader" so as to cover the basket.
