Shade Gardening

[GardenLover]

Have recently shifted to a new place where is no direct sunlight.
But there is enough indirect light all day long.

Thought of planting some Vinca Rosea plants as they grow well in shade.
Are there any such pretty flowering plants that can bloom in shade ?

Please suggest me some similar flowering plants that are ideal
in these conditions.

I'm not sure what's available or suitable for you in India and this is a very googleable question.

However, my yard is also quite shaded and off the top of my head, flowering shade-tolerant plants I've had luck with include dahlias, coral bells, hosta (some varieties have lots of flowers,) astilbe, bleeding heart, lilies. I also know hydrangeas tolerate shade but I've never grown them.

However, there is a facility to place a bulb on the ceiling which faces towards the plants.
I need name/type of the bulb that is best possible alternative to sunlight.
Please suggest me the best one.
