Loads!

Ferns, hostas (watch out for slugs), astilbe, aduja, foxgloves, ligularia, dicentra, ajuga, some primula, day lilies, irises, bluebells, sedge grasses and for the wow factor, angelica.

There are more - that's all I can think of at the moment.

 

Thanks Aaron,thats more than enough,much appreciated Matt

 

Just a thought but don't Irises like full sun? Or is that only bearded ones?
