Hello
Im new to the site and gardening lol.

Half of my garden is in full shade, ive put a few plants over there which are doing just fine but some ive tried have just died off. I was wondering if anyone had some ideas of plants that are happy in full shade so i can inject some colour.

Thanks CJ

What do you have growing there right now? hostas and bleeding hearts do well in the shade. I used to have day lilies (some people call them ditch lilies) growing in shade. i also have tulips that are in the shade that come up in the spring.
