baskets

Flowering plants struggle

to bloom in shade—

impatiens and begonias

are two exceptions—so

foliage plants can be a

good choice for baskets

in dim light. Look for

plants with white and

pastel highlights, such

as variegated caladium,

coleus,

Iresine,

and

ivy, which come

alive in the shadows.
