What do you recommend for warm shade perennials?

Answer 1

Designing Perennial Gardens

Perennial plants can live many years, so careful planning is required. Determine Garden size by available space and the amount of time you have for maintenance. Perennial Gardens should be functional, simple to maintain, accessible, and supply a progression of flower colors and textures all season.
When access is available from two sides, a maximum width of 8 feet works well. Use stepping stones to prevent soil compaction and allow easy access through the Garden space.

To begin the design, measure the proposed site. On graph paper, sketch the layout to scale, using a scale of 1 inch = 4 feet or 1 inch = 2 feet, depending on the size of your area. Then proceed with the following steps:

1. Locate existing structures, walls, fences, walks, etc.
2. Locate existing plants, such as trees or shrubs. Take into consideration their mature size. These larger plants can be focal points in the Garden.
3. Sketch the desired outline of the bed. It is often helpful to place a Garden hose around the area to visualize the shape. Measure the line from known reference points to put it on the plan.

I would use a variety of ferns or Hostas, because their foliage is very pretty, where some bloomers only bloom once, and you don't have much color.
