Hi everyone...have a question I need answered...if someone could help.

I am in Zone 3 - Northwestern Ontario.

My back yard faces East - along the North side is the fence (4 feet
high and rather "solid" - not much spacing between boards.
The sun is on the "other" side of that fence - leaving a "shady strip"
where my flower bed is (runs the whole length of that fence).

Is this area considered Shady or Partly Shady??

THREE different employees at the greenhouses I was in
(yep...asked them all....) said that plants wanting "sun to partial
shade" would be fine there - they suggested:

- Calamintha grandiflora "variegata"
- Paeonia
- Bleeding heart
- Balloon Flower - Platycodon grandiflorum

I am not so sure.

Thank you in advance for any input.
