Default Full Shade Bed

Hi - new to this forum - just needed some advice please. Live in
Suffolk, Have a flower bed that is constantly in shade, day in day out
- full time. Due to our fence, would like some suggestions on
plants/shrubs that will be happy there and possibly any flowering
plants - finding it hard to have any success. Thanks for your replies!

If the fence is all that is shading it there will be loads of stuff to grow
there. Try Clematis (nearly all of them) Rambling roses, Honeysuckles,
Hollies, Eleagnus, Euonymus, Phlox and Hardy Geraniums. Fuchsias.
the only things you won't be able to grow are the sun lovers.
