Hello,

I have a strip of garden some 20 metres long and 2 metres wide, I returfed
it last summer but the grass has since died off because the area is in
permenant shade, soil may be or is poor as well.
I have given up on the turf idea and would like some advice on what shrubs I
could plant that will flower in summer and winter and compliment each other,
the only criteria to meet is they must like shade and not need pruning too
often, ground is usually damp

Thanks.
