Hi Margaret,

There are some really beautiful plants you can place in areas that get minimal, non-direct sun.

Some options for your pots are:

Philodendron xanadu: Tropical with bold foliage that looks amazing in a pot.
Loropetalum burgundy: Also available in green foliage. They look great in pots and lovely trimmed as a standard.
Michelia figo: Port wine magnolia, Makes a good statement plant
Coleus: A foliage plant with loads of colour
Impatiens: Bizzy Lizzy, A show of long-lasting impatiens will look amazing – you could swap out for polyanthus in the winter months.
Gardenia: Stunning white scented flowers.
Bromeliads: Adds interest and colour.

I hope a few of these ideas put you on the right track.
