I have an area that I just removed cedar bushes, and want to make it into a perennial garden area.
It is north facing and shaded by the house, so is protected from the wind. What type of plants could I plant in this area.

Dixie,

In shade you will find impatiens to be a good annual flower. I could not determine your hardiness zone but if your winters don't drop below the low 20's you can plant shrubs like Gold Dust Plant and Fatsia in a shady spot. If you like azaleas that would also be fine as would various types of ginger. If I misunderstood the site you were describing please submit another question to the home depot web site with more details and I'll be happy to assist further.

Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon!
