We have a small area outside one of the lounge windows that gets no sun at all. All day shady. What are the best plants to plant if any. Keep in mind i am not very green thumbed lol. I went and looked around the garden center but really had no idea. Thanks

Depending on the style/height you want clivias instantly spring to mind. Very low maintenance and you can get a few different colour variations.

Is it dry shade or damp shade? Ligularia, hostas (although they disappear during winter) violets, winter roses, Chatham Island Forget me Nots.

What area in NZ is the area to be planted? Your local council will have a list of plants that suit the conditions of your area. these will grow well.

Fuchsia might be worth a try, there are some beautiful ones

Impatiens don't mind the shade.

If you want easy care & evergreen you might like to try Choiysa Ternata (Mexican orange blossom). This is a shrub by the way.They look very nice clipped as a hedge or you can leave. I have them growing against the house on the south side & they always look neat & tidy. You can purchase them from the Warehouse & are very reasonable - price wise.
