I have a balcony on raised ground floor with lots of trees hiding the sun. In the summer I get a few hours of direct sunlight, not enough to get anything flowering. I attempted growing tomatoes, and ended up with the tallest, most useless plant ever. Strawberries were also mostly leaves. There is a planter integrated on the balcony design though, which is nice.
Is there anything with fun leaves I could grow ? Preferably low maintenance and resistant to low temperatures. (not necessarely frost resistant, though better)

Edit: I also generally can’t keep stuff that flowers, hence my request.

    Besides the suggestion about shade-tolerant plants, I strongly recommend finding a localized book. Your local librarian likely knows what people use.

    This is what gets used in some parts of coastal California, and the suggestions in it might work well in some parts of France, but it’s probably not ideal for where you are.
