Plants for shade

A list here from the RHS:

Creeping Jenny. But it does spread - a lot.

Bugle.But it's boring.

Bluebells! Think beech woods.

Hellebores are good for shady areas and don’t seem bothered by slugs.

Snowdrops are woodland plants, ferns offer a choice of varieties that do well in shade. I grow Azaleas in shade, lovely spring colour and again in the autumn when the leaves turn red, plus some herbaceous plants are also quite happy in shade I have Phlox for summer colour in shady beds.

Thanks so much everyone, I love hellebores and have a couple doing well. I shall hie me to a decent garden centre asap, and have a close look at all your suggested plants.

Perennial geraniums thrive in shade and almost anywhere else in my garden. They come in different sizes and many colours. I agree about hellebores which seed themselves at will in my garden, especially alongside the fence.
