Shady Patio Pots

I had beginners luck with my patio pots late last summer, planted in time for a party in early September. I have now got the bug & want another great show that will give fragrant, colourful blooms throughout the "patio" season. My patio get practically no sun & most plants I have seen need at least partial sun. Any advice gratefully recieved. Thx

 

Hi, Fuschias should be OK, and how about the scented geraniums, lots of varieties and leaf forms that will flower and smell all through summer. Hostas can look dramatic in pots and have pretty flowers, but not much smell.
If you had good luck last year, try the same ones again!

 

How about some ferns in containers as well, helps to make the most of your colour by adding the all important green background, and would be happy in the most shady parts along with those Hostas?
