Re: Porch Perennials

There aren't a lot of blooming plants but there are lots of variegated ivies
and coleus to choose from. Hostas in a large container will work before they
get really big. Also Primulas and begonias. Ferns also do well in shady areas.


Horticulture magazine June/July issue has an nice article on just this
subject. It suggests experimenting, i.e. using houseplants that are doing
poorly inside that might perk up outside during the warm season.

Have fun.

April, Seattle, WA zone 7-8
Partly cloudy with some heavy rains. Mid-upper 60's.Been like this all week
and plants are bending over waiting to dry off.

I would like to know which low maintenance perennials 
could be used in windoboxes or large pots on my front porch.
This is a low light area, with no sunlight at all
during the day. 


Thanks

Anthony Gal
