Shady Flowers

[desertgirl]

Looking for suggestions for vibrant and hopefully aromatic flowers who don't need a ton of sunlight (would be planted in a very shady part of the yard in containers).

Ay suggestios?

(Thanks!)

Digitalis (foxglove)

Bleeding heart, violas, hostas (although my experience has been that the slugs like it), forget-me-nots, fuchsia (this is a shrub, but it is nice and bright and doesn't neccessarily get all that big) primulas and primroses. These are all flowers I grew in a rather shady part of my yard. They did get a bit of sun very late in the afternoon though.

They aren't vibrant and fragrant, but delicate and beautiful- columbine. My jacob's ladder has done very well in shade.
