    Begonias do best in shady spots, impatiens,too. All ferns, and other green vines and plants like pacasandra.
    I have heard that spreading cat hair around the edges of a garden can keep critters out. Of course, you first have to find a shedding cat. Come to my house, Dali is shedding everywhere!

    Hostas will come back year after year. There are many different varieties. Coleus grows well in shade as well as impatiens

    I am in Zone 5 and have these in my shady areas: Astilbe is has a wonderful wispy bloom, blooms in July-August. Azaleas & rhododendrens bloom in May, and the rhodos might also enjoy the protection that the upper deck provides. Rhodos need alot of water as their roots do not grow deep. I also like hostas for shaded areas - they will grow & spread just about anywhere and bloom in June, July, August here. Lily of the valley does well in shade and will spread as well - and they are beginning to bloom now.

    I have never had rabbits eat any of these plants - hope this helps.
