What kind of outside flowers grow well without sunlight?
Some shade loving plants do bloom: Columbine, Bleeding Heart, Bergenia, Hellebore...
The problem is, plants need sunlight to produce those sugars needed for big, bright, bold flowers. So, if you can re-think your strategy and consider the shade garden as a foliage over flowers kind of space, you can grow some great plants with good color in the leaves. Try: Japanese Aralia, Ferns, Heuchera, Tiarella, Hosta, Forest Grass, Acuba, and Mondo Grass. Then you can add small splashed of color with the above mentioned annuals.

Im looking for some flowers that are low maintenace and do well in the heat and are very pretty can any1 help?
Blackeye suzies, coreopsis(member of the sunflower) and mexican primrose.I lived in the hot desert for many years and always had great luck with these. They are all considered annuals but do reseed themselves easily so they come up year after year. Coreopsis comes in a double Flower variety and gets about 12-24 inches tall. blasckeye suzies are a Little shorter and the mexican primrose is about 10-12inches, so you can do a stair step with all three for beautiful color. They are very heat resistant and are bothered by very little pests, once they are established ---no work except for the cut flowers you can bring inside!
God Bless

Reply:Echinacea or Cone-flowers are great. Lantanas are also fabulous. I grow both in NE Texas, and just barely add water during the droughts. I%26#039;m also having good luck with coreopsis (a yellow daisy-like flower).
Reply:Mexican petunias, butterfly bush, lantana, pentas. Just make sure that you water them every week or so. These are what I have growing in my flower beds here in Florida. The Mexican petunias aren%26#039;t as big water hogs as regular petunias.
Reply:Posies
Reply:Daylilies love heat and are fairly low maintenance. They come in every color but blue and black.
Rose of Sharon is another one that is easy. They grow on bushes and they smell great.
Canna love heat! Depending on where you live, you have to dig canna tubers up on the fall to put in your basement but otherwise no maintenance. I really like the Tropicanna. The leaves look very jungle like and the orange or yellow flowers are spectacular.
Reply:Petunias.
Reply:petunias but need plenty water every day and they love sun
or cactus they almost need no water
Reply:Perennials: Lavender, Very hardy and drought tolerant. Yucca, beautiful white flowering stalk...drought resistant, day lilies, very low maintenance %26amp; resistance to drought. Blazing Star.
Bi-annuals: Holly Hocks, Blackeyed Susans, Shasta Daisy, cone flowers, phlox. (all quite drought resistant)
Annuals: Marigolds, Zinnias, Larkspur, sunflowers, Moss roses.
(needs a little more maintance but can go several days between watering)
Reply:Sedums are very good in hot, dry climates. They come in taller varieties and low growing varieties and all difference foliage colors including variegated. They flower at different times of the years but look good all growing season.
Reply:allysums, shiny dark green leaves,very pretty flowers
Reply:petunias, some have very good scent, some have no scent.
Reply:Marigolds
Reply:yeah plastic flowers
Reply:Begonias are great and come in a variety of colors. Savlia and marigolds are good choices, also. Coleus are not flowering, but have beautiful leaves- my favorites are the maroon/red leafed variety.

Does any know flowers well, love the cornflowers??

Does any know flowers well, love the cornflowers??
Here%26#039;s a photo and some information. Where I come from, we call them Bachelor%26#039;s Buttons - I grow them in our flowerbed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflower
Reply:No--but you can use hydrangeas for the blue and purpley blues like bachelor buttons.
Reply:you might be able to put white ones in a vase with a heavy concentration of blue dye/food coloring and they should drink it up and turn blue...
i%26#039;ve done this with other flowers, never a cornflower.
so make sure to try plenty a head of time.
good luck

Well there is your answer.
Reply:No, they do not come in a blue. Unless you can find them in silk? But I doubt it.

What kinds of flowers would grow well under a pine tree?
Most plants will not grow underneath pine trees because pine needles are very acidic and they make the soil acidic. One plant that is not a flower but rather a groundcover and is one of the few plants that grows well under pine trees is pachysandra. It is a spreading evergreen (green in the winter) plant that grows to a uniform height (typically one foot high).
Here are its requirements:
Zone: 3 to 8
Light: Full to partial shade
Moisture: Wet to moist
Soil Type: Sandy or loam
pH Range: 3.5 to 6.0
Be careful when digging under the pine so as not to damage tree roots. Tree roots grow in the upper 2 to 3 feet of soil, and the fine absorbant roots are typically located within the upper 6 inches. While damage to some roots is sure to happen you want to be careful not to damage too many larger roots (larger than one-half inch).
Pachysandra does develop small white flowers in the spring, but they are fairly inconspicuous.

What kinds of flowers would grow well under a pine tree?
Impatiens during the summer, in the shade of the tree, but not right up against the trunk. Make sure that they get lots of water and fertilizer to increase bloom volume and size. You will love the bright colored flowers and relatively easy care.
Unless you live in a temporate coastal area, the impatiens will not winter over. If you live along the coast, cut back the impatiens in late winter to about 2 inches, feed and water well, and they%26#039;ll come back again. At least, they do for me.
Reply:If you are located in the south, try azaleas. They love the shifting shade and the acid from the pine needles.
Reply:try tubs of flowers so you can move them about and the soil will make no difference .goodluck peterc
Reply:I had a lot of blue spruces in our yard and was told not to try to pant any thing because the needles of the tree fall in the earth and the earth will have to much acid in it. unless to find a plant that will grow in acidic soil and shade
