The message
from rabc contains these words:

Shade loving low growing perennials required.......after paying pounds
out every year for bedding plants i have decided to take the plunge and
fill one border with perennials , the border in question is right
outside my window which gets very little sunshine any recommendations
appreciated.....Thanks

Winter aconites, most bulbs, wood anemones, various hellebores including
Christmas rose, wood spurge - to go on with.

More stuff that grows on woodland floors - bluebells, lesser celandine,
ramsoms (if you don't mind the smell), creeping dogwood

And, for very dry shade (where little will grow), Cyclamen coum
and hederifolium. C. europaeum is worth trying for slightly
damper shade.

Nick Maclaren.
