I would like to place container plants in areas of a courtyard which
receive no direct sunlight. I would prefer perrenials and am not unduly
concerned about the flowering properties of the plants, but would probably
like light coloured evergreens to brighten these shady areas, any flowering
would be a bonus.
Many thanks.
