Hello! I'm new to the group but new to gardening, too. I live in NE
Kansas and the front of my house is super shady - a little sun in the
morning and evening but otherwise shadowed by the house. I'm planning on
putting a little edging and some decorative gravel in the spot, but would
like to put some blooming flowers in pots in the area too. A Google
search wasn't very helpful - what sorts of flowers grow in the shade?
I don't care much about color, just something I could put in some nice
pots and sit out in the bed.
Thanks for any help you can give!
