anything labelled 'woodland' is great. Lily of the valley are nice and smell great, hellebores bloom in January, astibles come in a variety of colours, heucheras are great for all the great leave variations-'Lime Ricky' 'Obsidian' 'Aber Waves'
'Mint Mocha' 'Green Spice' (all Heuchera's)
any fern or hosta- some unique ferns are , hart's tongue fern, royal fern, and maidenhair is outstanding
