flowers for the shade

i am looking for ground cover perrenial plants for a part of my garden that gets no sun plants with plenty of colour preferably would be grateful for any advice thankyou :rolleyes:

 

there is a ground cover plant called Pachysandra terminalis white flowers good in shade evergreen' hostas are good but not really ground cover as are astibes :D :D

 

thanks very much brazil

 

Hardy geranium wargrave pink is good for shade, it gets very little sun in my garden or the previous one and is smothered in flowers most of the summer. It gets to about 2 feet high if you tie it up otherwise it just spreads.

 

thanks very much helen

 

I have recently bought a planting plan off the website below, it gives you a plan of where to place the plants included, and if i remember rightly, you can choose which colours you like and if your border is in shade, semi shade or sun.

It was only 8 pounds and saved a lot of time researching all the gardening magazines

hope this helps,
