Default Shade tolerant plants

For the shadiest spots where even impatiens or sweet william complain for
need of light, English or Spanish bluebells can't be beat. They'll even
thrive right up next to the roots of big shrubs, or back under the eaves
of the house that get almost no water. They're only present in spring of
course but that's enough. I wouldn't waste a choice garden space on them
because they're just so damned great in spots that are otherwise
ungardenable.
