Can these flowers be planted in the shade?

Question

I was just wondering whether the following flowers can be planted in the shade and whether they do well in the shade;

Tulips (all varieties)

Allium

Clematis

Answer 1

I presently have a clematis growing full shade and doing very well.  It is the cultivar 'Polish Spirit'.  There are quite a few that will do well in the shade.  Especially if they are of the vitacella family.  Most cultivars in this family are easier to grow.  I do not believe that tulips will do well in the shade or allium.  

Answer 2

Yes They can. As long as you take care of them they will do quite well.

Answer 3

Tulips will do well in full sun or ((partial shade.)) Yet the perfect location does not receive full sunlight in the middle of the day.

Plant alliums in fall. Give them a sunny location, except in the hottest regions, where they grow best in partial shade or morning sun.

Clematis-Woodland, Dappled Shade, Shady Edge.

None of these plants will survive in ALL shade.

Answer 4

It is probably not best to plant these in the shade, as all three are sun-loving plants.  While you can get away with partial shade, having them in full shade will slow their development and not allow them to make enough sugars and food to maintain them for multiple years.

Answer 5

All of these plants will do best in a sunny position although a Clematis would do even better if it's roots are in the shade and shoots in the sun.
