New here...landscaping question.

DarrenandHana

Hey guys!  I'm looking for some advice and I hope someone might be able to help me.  My front flower beds get only a smidge of sun in the late afternoon/almost evening.  I want to plant some large shrubs/bushes that have some sort of color, but everything I've looked at requires a lot of sun.  Anyone have any suggestions?

~NB~

We'll have lots of suggestions once you tell us what zone you live in.

I have azaleas and they dont get a lot of sun, neither does my rhododendron and mine is really big!  It takes up the entire corner of my house

We get very little sun in the front of our house too and we have a mix of

azaleas, rhododendron and otto luykens...

Without knowing what zone you are in...here are some possible options:

Hydrangeas, rhods, azaleas, yews, arborvitae, Canadian hemlock, some types of dogwood, boxwood, Korean fir, sawara cypress, and daphnes.

I agree with azaleas.  They don't flower as well with low sun, but they will still flower and are otherwise evergreen so no bare branches in winter.

Sorry!  I believe I'm Zone 7, Eastern Tennessee?  I'm not 100% positive though.  Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I would definitely suggest hydrangeas or (as someone who has mostly sunny areas on my property and has always wanted a hydrangea....).     Maybe you could try alstroemeria, if it gets at least some sun?
