Hi I have an unusual garden (I think) which is s long strip about 30 feet long (a side yard ) and 5.5 feet in width. The 5.5 feet is also split down the center with the shadow of the next house over nearly all day except a few hours in the morning. The "sun" side is sunny most of the day, with light shade in the morning and later evening. I have mostly iris and daylily's in the sunny area, but so far nothing really has grown well in the shady area so I thought I would try hostas. I went down to the local "Lowes" hardware store and found they had a few hosta varieties. My telephone internet was not working for some reason (it is now) and I could not get information so I chose 2 hostas of the same size based on their appearance. This hosta was Abiqua Drinking Gourd. Now I see they will grow to be huge, but it may be 2 to 4 years before they do. In the meantime, I still want background plants. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for annuals that grow in the shade that will die each year, not seed, and be at least 2 feet tall.
Thanks for any replies
Katy
