    The main very colorful annual should be a mixture of colors of shade loving Impatients definitely….

    A spiky evergreen for the center.

    Miniature variegated ivy for the overflow look.

    pansys like shade as do impatients. They both are very colorful however pansys come is more colors than impatients. i plant impatients every year in the flowerboxes attatched to my house. It is always in the shade yet they bloom & grow profusely

    You’re best off combining a mixture of coleus, especially the more colorful pink & green types with green and white (varigated) ivy and either white or light pink impatients. All three plants need shade. The textures of three plants compliment each other. A feather fern can also be added for extra texture. If you’re looking for a vine to combine with ivy to hang from the sides, try moonflower. These are larger white flowers that will grow all summer long and can handle shade. Per the name, they open in the evening.
