I think you can be really happy with some shade annuals this summer. They are so cheerful! I love plants.Zona Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285445804637625946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-89752312442804051082009-04-20T13:03:00.000-04:002009-04-20T13:03:00.000-04:00Visiting from SITS.

The most common plants that thrive and bloom really well in shade are impatiens, tuberous begonias and fuchsias. All can make you really happy - they are all beautiful and each has a different use. The impatiens are small, lowgrowing, bunching plants that bloom like crazy, the begonias are generally upright and showy, and the fuchsias have a weeping habit and drape beautifully as they bloom their little hearts out for you.<br /><br />At this point you will want to purchase small plants rather than seeds or tubers. You can pot them up into larger planters or the ground (I never use any pots smaller than 12" in diameter). Be sure to water and fertilize regularly; just Miracle Gro will work fine - no need to be fancy.<br /><br />Sorry seed starting didn't work out well for you this time. If you want to try it again, you will really need a shop light with full-spectrum bulbs in it to place the baby plants under after they pop out of the ground. Keep it about 2inches above them (I prop mine on books or large leftover Legos!) and raise it as they grow. It works great!<br /><br />Let me know if you have more questions - I love to garden and share my experience - someone may as well learn from my mistakes!<br /><br />Take care, sweetie!Zona Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285445804637625946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-78383004550594664282009-04-16T23:33:00.000-04:002009-04-16T23:33:00.000-04:00I wish I knew!

The only thing I can say is to put the plants as near a window as possible so they can get all of the [little] light and warmth available. <br /><br />Just a note, there are some other plants that don't require real sunlight such as Orchids that do amazing with little work. I don't know anything about 4 O'clocks though.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445770443206595615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-23624144134669950242009-04-16T20:05:00.000-04:002009-04-16T20:05:00.000-04:00I wish I could help!!
