    Hello @Soiled, :sign0016:to the forum :)

    How about some delphiniums, foxgloves, hellebores, hostas, phlox & iris. You could also put some bulbs in (snowdrops, daffodils, tulips) for some Spring colour.

    I shall look forward to hearing about your garden & getting to know you on the forum :dbgrtmb: in the meantime ask as many questions as you need there's lots of lovely knowledgeable people on here :dbgrtmb:
