Topic: Anybody know about Plants-Posted: May/14/2009 at 4:18pm |

My Mom bought a house and could never get any flowers to grow on the end of the garage cause its always shaded. Anybody know any flowering plants that will grow well in the shade, preferably perrenials so you don't have to replant them every year? I know this is totally unsnowboardrelated, but I'm guessing at least one out of 100,000 members might just know something. |

Pretty sure dirtysouth is a botanist.
Whether that is legit, or he sells weed to high school kids, is unclear at this time. |

i don't know if you want a vine...but morning glory will grow in seemingly any circumstances. It has really pretty big flowers so it always looks good and will bring lots of bugs to help pollunate any other plants!

You can go into home depot or what every store you are going to buy the plants from and ask a FEW of the people who work there. It is hit and miss sometimes you can find people who knows a lot or just some random teenager.

Such a huge misconception. After working at HD for about a year, you'd be surprised at the amount of people that come in and assume that since you're wearing an orange apron that you're the master of all knowledge. Well, contrary to popular belief, we're just humans like the rest of the world...
There's usually at least one "garden specialist" per store, sometimes more depending on the size of the store and the amount of business that they do, but everybody else is just there stocking shelves and hating life. Your line about it being hit and miss is so true.
I'd say either go to an actually nursery/greenhouse place, or hit up your good friend Goog L.
