Bedding
Plants
In our Southern
California climate,
it is best to wait until cooler weather in mid to late October to start
these Fall and Winter bedding plants for your shady areas. English
primrose, Fairy primrose, Primrose Obconica and Cyclamen all provide
beautiful winter color.
After all danger
of frost has past, Spring and Summer bedding plants for shade will
provide color in the shady or part shady areas of your garden. Begonia,
Impatiens, New Guinea Impatiens, Torenia, Browalia, Hypoestes, Mimulus
and Coleus give dramatic color in summer shade.
