Let's not forget about other crowd-pleasers! I have a feeling I will be a big fan of Impatiens and Coleus this year. Both can easily be found outside supermarkets and garden stores. Given their many varieties, they are just what I will need to add vibrant color to my porch garden. They are very good shade plants.
Coleus
Perennial
Pinch the tips to keep the plant bushy
(I have seen gardeners who are even able to sculpt the plants into colorful topiaries!)
This plant comes in so many wonderful colors that it may be hard to narrow it down to what I wants to buy.
Impatiens
Another plant that you will see everywhere once spring arrives. These are really hardy. Just water and they thrive.
Also, another bonus is that they flower all season throughout the end of summer. If taken care of properly, you will enjoy them for many months.
