 Kerry,

I am sorry for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up!

I would try caladiums, white butterfly ginger, elephant ears, ferns of various types, and the shrubs Fatsia and Gold Dust Aucuba.

Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon!
