deepest shade

[Mr List]

i am looking for plants that will grow as ground cover for the most deep of deepest shade

ie

under bushes against a north facing fence on a shady site.

in these dark places i have had some ferns wither away so i am looking for actual first hand experience with deep dark thrivers rather than just a list of shade loving plants from a book.

Helleborus varieties always do alright for me in complete shade.

Ditto.

I have some Pachysandra terminalis growing well in deep shade.

I also have various Chrysosplenium. They like it moist and shady.

What you are describing sounds more like a request for plants that grow in the dark..... plastic ones do best or get a solar light with a remote solar panel.

[Mr List]

Pachysandra terminalis could be a brilliant shout.

what types of Helleborus?

are there any evergreen ones?

[Dim]

there are some bright huechera (reds and yellows) that enjoy shade

Have you considered Nandina?

Mine is thriving tucked between a North facing and an East facing fence beneath a Trachycarpus in the shadow of the house. It doesn't get much shadier than that.

[Mr List]

nandina is a bush, not ground cover for under a bush.

[GoggleboxUK]

Oh yeah, forgot that bit

Moss. Even grows under yew trees (really deep shade!).

I hate moss, sigh.

If you want some moss PM me your address and I can send some in an envelope to you

Even the dwarf ones no good? Nice Autumn colours
