Hi folks, I am just starting to fix my home and am looking for any kind of perenials and flowers. I don't have a lot of sun, so most of them need to be shade loving plants.
I have very few flowers to trade mostly peace lilies, but have the best okra ever, lots of tomatoes, basil, pink corn and beans.
Thank you

G'Day New2Green!

I don't have any seeds of prenennials that I could send you (that I can think of right now anyway) but my Mom did grow tiger lillies for many years on the shaded side of the house and they were quite successful. I hope this helps.

Hi New2Green, I have some shade perennials I could share. Do you have a picture of your peace lilies? Or could you describe their color?

Thanks,
Maria

Hi marianoel, I don't have the camera cable until next week when my husband comes back from a business trip, then I can e-mail a pic,(I can't post pictures here to save my life). But they are white flowers with a yellow center. I have a link that will show you what they look like. They are indoor, basically maintenance free, they'll let you know when to water and grow themselves...

I don't think I could ship a live plant to you, but I can make suggestions. I have had a lot of luck with campanulas in the shade, cranesbill geraniums, bleeding heart, hosta, globeflower, sedum. These tolerate dry shade.

Here are some very common plants you'll find growing in shady conditions in the Charlotte area:

Hostas
Hellebores (aka Lenten Rose)
Caladiums
Hydrangea
Heuchera
Sedums
Astilbe
Camelias
Some Azaleas
Rhododendron
Impatiens (annual)
Begonias (annual)

For dry shade:
Japanese painted fern
Autumn fern
Mondo grass
