Plant Selection
 
I am new to newsgroups and know even less about plants. Is there a site or
could someone give me some assistance with
the selection of plants for an area of my house that only gets early morning
sun. The front of my house receives brief
early morning sun. Are there any suggestions for plants ? Northeast Area,
Massachusetts.. I don't mind experimenting.

You are probably very limited in the selection of flowering plants, which
generally need more light. You could try peace lily. There are hundreds of
foliage plants available. Try Sansevieria (snake plant), Philodendron,
Aspidistra, Aglaonema (Chinese evergreen). Practice on those until you are
ready for something more exciting. For further information on indoor & outdoor
gardening, go to rec.gardens.
