Question: Would you give me the name of a flowering shrub that would do well on the north side of my home where there is no sun except in early morning? J. F., Indiana.
Answer: The number of flowers a blooming shrub will produce depends in part on the amount of light they receive. The following will produce abundant foliage and usually flowers in full shade. Hydrangea, especially arborescens, Lonicera arborescens, or henryii, Kolkwitzia amabilis, commonly called beauty bush, and Spirea Vanhouttei are all satisfactory.
