Hi,
I want to plant a couple hanging baskets for my front porch. It only gets a little morning sun as it's on the east side of the house with an overhang. I want to plant something different. Are there any herbs or anything that grow in shady areas?
There aren't many herbs that will grow in low light. For hanging baskets in part sun consider Angelica, Catnip, Chervil, Chives, Lemon Balm, sweet Marjoram, Oregano, Parsley, Peppermint, Spearmint and Sweet woodruff.
Nasturtium will grow in part sun and is edible. Fuschia is another that likes part sun. The triphylla varieties are more upright. I like them and grow Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt'. Here's pic of a very mature plant. I overwinter mine indoors as it's not hardy in my zone 7 garden and I can't always find it every year. http://www.rogersgardens.com/images/lewpic15.jpg
