Plants for a shady corner!

Anyone have any ideas of plants i can have in containers in a shady corner of the garden? I only get an hours direct sunlight in that area a day. I was thinking of a Fatsia Japonica? Anyone have more suggestions? Thanks!

 

Fatsia will be fine in a shadey spot . Skimmia is good , also Fuschias and possibly begonias .
I'll watch this thread as I need a few ideas for shade loving perennials.

 

Hostas, ferns, bleeding heart ... roughly, which time of the day are you blessed with one hour of sunshine? (Morning? Mid day? Afternoon? Evening?)

I know @Fern4 not only also has a shady garden, but grows in containers so I'm sure she will have lots of ideas for you

 

Astilbe? Mine are just about to start regrowing.

 

Brunneras,Tiarella and Sarcocca

 

Thanks guys! I'll have to decide on a few now.

 

If you do searches here, you will find the topic of Shade planting often discussed. Just saying.

 

Just thought i'd get fresh oppinions instead of what others said if that's ok?

 

Camelias can do well in shade as long as the hour of sunlight isn't in the morning. Good in large containers because you can also control the acidity and the watering.

 

Coleus, sorry cant remember their renaming, are good in shade, and all the above

 

Damn, lol! I only had one to contribute, but @philomel pipped me to the post. But I do know the new name is Solestemon (or something a bit like that!) they are so easy to grow and some lovely colours.

 

There is just a short list shade plants that work. the list hardly changes. I am a shade gardener, so I am referring to the prior list I entered in another thread of the same topic.

 

I can't find this on search Redstar do you have the link to the post ? I am interested in setting up a shadey part off my garden this year . So this post is very useful for me.

 

I grow Fuschias, Begonias and Daphne laureola in the shade.

 

Lime marmalade heucheras and some other heucheras
