Hi, I have an area at the back of the house that does not get any sun and feels quite cold and damp with moss thriving on the concrete. So I was looking for an alternative way of brightening it up with some container plants rather than digging it up. Though this could be the way forward dependant on replies.

Is there a good selection of plants available for containers that would do well in this type of environment or is the option to bleed some sweat and dig the concrete up for better plants? The area is approximately 8'x8'.

If I was to dig this area up, I would need plants that wouldn't have invasive rooting system to threaten the wall structure of the house.

I have only really started getting green fingers and just managed to fill most of the borders at the front with plants, so my knowledge is limited to choosing the right plants for the right environment.

Thanks in advance.
