Default growing stuff in the shade
writes
Hiya, we have a front garden that points due north and consequently
most of it spends its life in constant shadow.
Now we know about hostas and ferns but can anyone tell us of anything
that is
(a) colourful,(b) perrenial,(c) low maintaince,and (d) shade loving,
Now bear in mind that we are not noted for our horticultural knowledge
and we like to plant stuff then pretty much forget about it. So it
would help if any suggestions could also thrive on neglect also.
C`mon lets be having you. Thanks in anticipation

Hellebores
Euphorbia griffithsii 'Fireglow' - long lasting bright orange bracts
Hypericum - big yellow flowers
Pyracantha - but this will need pruning if it is not to take over the
entire garden.
