Annuals For Shade
Shade annuals bloom for one season, but oh, what a season! They typically flower all summer. For a complete list of our shade loving annuals, click here. To list our shade annuals by color, click here.
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS
NonStop Yellow & Red
Ah, those beautiful Begonias! They have big, bold, rose-like blossoms and are not troubled by pests. Deer choose them last. Try Yellow, Orange, Red or for a twist on the ordinary, Mocca Mix, which has nearly-black foliage.
BONFIRE BEGONIA
Wow! This baby will really make your part-sun and shady areas pop. Great in containers and hanging baskets.

FUCHSIA
Fuchsia is a great trailing plant for shade. Besides the popular Swingtime and Lena, we also carry some unusual varieties: Giant Blackie has such a deep purple sepal that it is nearly black. Koralle is upright, with black leaves and a bright orange flower.
Koralle Fuchsia
BUTTERFLY & spellbound IMPATIENS
Both varieties are vigorous, and will rapidly fill your containers. Bred to be more heat-tolearant than old-fashioned impatiens, they will bloom all summer. The Spellbound series is new for us. We'll be featuring Blackberry Star (photo courtesy Syngenta Flowers) and Titan Red.
TRAILING TORENIAS
Torenia
We’re not clowning around: Torenia, or Clown Flower is an awesome plant for the shade. In a hanging basket, the Wave, Midnight and Moon series will form a ball by midsummer. And an added bonus: deer do not like the trailing varieties!
