What're good flowers to put in a front yard flower bed with little to no sunlight?

We have a pinkish house and we want to put in flowers because the stuff that's there now it dumb and we're going to take all that out, but we need flowers that don't need almost any sunlight because we have two BIG shade trees. So does anyone have any ideas?

What're good flowers to put in a front yard flower bed with little to no sunlight?
I THINK IMPATIENS AND NEW GUINEA IMPATIENS WOULD DO BEST BUT THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE ANSWER WILL BE:1. WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT FROM NEIGHBORS AND 2. WHAT THE DEPT OF AGRICULTURE COUNTY AGENT SAYS ABOUT THE BEST CHOICE FOR YOUR LOCAL AREA AND 3. WHAT YOU CAN GET FROM A SURVEY OF LOCAL NURSERY EXPERTS.
Reply:I too, think impatiens. They are the best and prettiest flower that will grow in shade or little or no sun. They need alot of water though if it is a hot climate in the summer. Unfortunately, they will not come back but they will bloom all summer. They are absolutely beautiful when in full bloom. Good luck. They come in lots of different colors too which will go with your house.

Reply:impatiens or begonias
Reply:i agree with everyone on the impatients, they do well in


shade,but like lots of water and they are annuals. a good


perennial would be hostas.
Reply:Depends on where you live, California or the Northeast or Northwest etc. Tubers Begonias have spectacular flowers and need little light but cannot last the winter in cold climates and will burn in California, are available now. New Guinea Impatiens are one of the most colorful of all plants and need very little light, they are available anywhere. They like cooler climates and won't do too well in desert areas. They are an annual because the cold will kill them. Otherwise there are lots of plants that like shade not many flowers.
Reply:I recently planted rose moss in front of my house in Texas, that is shaded all day along with petunias.
Reply:Impatiens is probably the best low-light flowering plant. You can also go with hostas which is primarily a beautiful green plant but will give you some blooms for a short time.
