    If you want something that will come up every year and spread, (they can be divided if they go too far), you could try hostas. They usually like shade better than sun, but will grow in full sun if you make sure they are well watered. Other than that, they don't need much care. If you are not familiar with hostas, you can look them up online. They come in a variety of colours, from bluish to green and veregated green with cream. The flowers grow on stems, and are usually white, shades of pink, or purple. If you would rather have lots of flowers, impatients come in a variety of colours, and as long as they get lots of water if they are in full sun (water after the sun has stopped shining on them, as it is just like frost hitting them), they would be a good alternative. You can also check with your local nursery to see what plants would be the most suitable for your climate. Good luck.

    i'd say money tree, yet i already have been given a money tree in terms of company so a donut tree that produces each and every form of donuts that are actually not undesirable for you would be heaven in a bow.

    You could do azaleas, liriope, periwinkle and day lilies. Too much sun for hostas?
