Ten Best Annuals for Shady Spots

Canary Wings Begonia

When I first met this stunning begonia, I bought just a few small pots of it. Every year since, I’ve purchased it by the flat. That’s because its glowing chartreuse foliage and layered texture complement every other plant you’ll find on this list.

Use it as a 12- to 18-inch tall filler element in container combinations paired with plants with coarser or finer texture. Pictured here, I’m growing Canary Wings in my deck rail boxes with ‘Lemon Blush’ caladiums and lotus vine in full shade.

Because of its light-colored foliage, this begonia grows best in morning sun to full shade. In my cooler Michigan climate, I find its coloring is best if I let it have some filtered sun. In warmer climates, deeper shade is a must. Plant it in a container so you can move it around until you find the ideal location.
