I currently live in zone 3 rural Maine, near the Canadian border. I have one side of my house that is shaded most of the day, from a large Maple tree. Will Hosta grow there in the shade or do they need sun as well? What kinds of plants grow well in the shade? I have Begonias that flower all winter and summer long inside the house in a well lit window but, havent had luck with them out doors in the shade..!! I could use some advice. Thanks..!!
