Shade flowers?

[MamaHawk]

Hi all,

I'm hoping to have a very small (like 1x1ft) flower garden at the front of our house. It would get almost no sun. Are there any flowers besides hostas that would cooperate with that? I have a mini red rose in a similar area, it gets snatches of sun and flowers (at least it did last year after some trimming), but it isn't super prolific (shocker!). Any suggestions?

We have a very nice oakleaf hydrangea in a similar spot. An azalea would probably do very well there also.

My favorite shade plant is hostas! They come in so many different varieties. Also caladiums

Totally forgot about azaleas, I mix them up with rhododendrons. Good ideas! Hydrangeas do alright with less sun?? I have one medium sized one in partial sun and it does bloom, but I worried that was pushing it.

Caladiums! I've seen pictures but never knew the name. Thanks!
