...what plants grow in JUST shade?

I love old Chicago buildings. Sometimes they mean you get weird nooks and crannies, or a bonus living room. Sometimes they mean you have two windows in your apartment that form a tiny heat wind-tunnel triangle with a brick wall.

There's little to no sunlight here (think Bane's "The Pit" but not in the desert). Some plants that don't just handle partial shade, but complete shade:

Impatiens, Forget-me-nots, Begonias, Lily of the Valley, *wild* Violets, and Pansies.

How Stuff Works has a good list with quick, useful details, but not all of these love complete/full shade.

If you're like, "Hey, what is this planting zone thing? What zone am I?" you can enter your zip code on the USDA Plant Hardiness site and it will tell you the deets.
