What is a good plant for a shady location in the SE United states?

I have a flower bed and I need some form of a short 2' high or less plant. I prefer something cheap as this will be added just for curb appeal as I am selling the house. Any Ideas?

There are many varieties of hosta, and often you can start them from separating a mature plant. Also, dead nettle is pretty, inexpensive and fills spaces nicely without getting tall.
Reply:get small azeleas, a bush which you can buy in all sorts of mature sizes.
Reply:ruellia aka Mexican Petunia Lowe's carries both dwarf and tall varieties, usual colors are purple and pink for both heights, but sometimes you can find the dwarf white variety.



Crotons, coleus, marigolds, really any of the annuals that are colorful, canna lilies.



Here in FL, the stores will be having some of thier spring plants come out now. Try WalMart for your annuals, thier prices are cheap and stuff is usually nice.



Good luck with your sale....hope this info helps.
