I have a section of my yard that is on the north side of a wooden
fence where several myapora trees are growing.  Needless to say,
this area is very shaded, getting only early morning and late
evening sun.  I planted azaleas, gardenias, and camelias.  All of
these do very well in shade or semi-shade.  They love acidic soil,
though, so be sure to use peat moss and/or Miracid.
However, if you live in the northern section of the temperate
zone, gardenias and camelias might be difficult for you to grow.  Try
Rhododenrons and azaleas instead.  Here in San Diego, all of these
plants will flower almost year-round (azaleas mostly in spring,
camelias mostly in fall).  In other sections of the country you
might only get blooms in the spring.
