In my story, there is an earth sized planet orbiting a red dwarf, that is tidally locked to its parent star, has large oceans like earth, two moons similar to ours and a thick atmosphere to distribute heat around the planet.

On the dark side of the planet there are two small continents, each about the size of Greenland, as well as other smaller islands. Now, I've been wondering, would it be possible for plant life to exist on the dark side of the planet?

I mean, considering that the planet doesn't rotate, then obviously plants on the dark side can't photosynthesize, but what about the sunlight bouncing off from the moons surface. Could that be enough sunlight for anything to grow? And if plant life could exist on the dark side what would it be like? Considering the fact that even though the atmosphere does distribute heat around the planet, the dark side is still slightly colder.
