I am planning to plant a garden in the shady area around the back of my house which will include primrose and lily of the valley. I also wanted to use some ground coverings and was looking at Cyclamen and Tradescantia. Can I plant both of these (since they bloom at different times) or will one choke the other one out? And if I have to chose, which is more managable - in other words, more containable?

Both are great, plant them a little farther apart to keep seperate. Blooming at different times promises more variety and a longer "window" of blooms. Hostas and impatiens are also nice and tolerate shade well.

We have planted hostas and have great luck. Be careful though, as there are many varieties and once you buy one, it becomes an addiction.
