Looking for a flowering bush that likes the shade

[ROBOWADER]

I want to plant some flowering bushes on the side of my house. It is a very shaded area due to the 2 story house next door.

Just looking for recommendations for a shade loving flowering bush.

Thanks

Lorapetulum is a shade lover, as are gardenias, frostproof gardenias, azaleas, and Hydrangeas are also shade lovers.

Ditto above...also Indian Hawthorne.

I have azaleas out front under a huge oak and they do pretty well. Only thing I don't like is they only bloom for about 3 weeks (right now). I think there is a variety that blooms year round though.

The Endeavor cultivar will bloom about 3x per year depending on conditions, be aware that it is about 2x as expensive.

Dont forget about Coleus for color. prune them for a bushy plant. Take cuttings and root them easily from the trim. Caladiums would love that spot and there plenty of color variations.

Knock Out roses will hedge and bloom year round, in sun or shade. And they are winter hardy.

I'll second the hydrangeas Mark. I've had good luck with them in shady spots except for the verigated variety.
