I have a lovely, large patio…except that it gets absolutely no sun. I would very much like to grow some native plants as a container garden – maybe even some herbs and vegetables. But I don’t even know where to begin to find out what plants will work in complete, total shade.

I live in southern California, and I’m working on amending my soil with home grown compost (I won’t use the stuff that comes in bags), but I still have some areas that are the poor sandy soils of this region. I’m going to eventually turn this into a vegetable plot, and I already have native plants. What kinds of vegetables, herbs, or even cover crops might grow well here to start out with?
Thanks for any help.

I’m new to tucson AZ I found out the name of th bright red and orange bushes(red bird of paradise) but am still puzzled about a med pink(bright) bush and a white bush ( they are both tall about 6 ft or so aprox) I like bushes and flowers but besides the cacti, am puzzled as to the other native plants as i am previously a buckeye, and part hoosier and not used to desert landscape, i’ve also seen a little bright orange flower that grows close to the ground it has a almost tublar bloom on it, Any help would be appreciated.
