Good idea, and failing that a detailed description. I hope it is not a narrow area if between a high fence and house. That may also have a bearing on the plants you choose, if it has a wind tunnel effect, hopefully not.
I like brunnera jack frost or Alexander's great, have a look on www.plantsforshade.co.uk specialise in perennial shade plants , its better than me naming them off when you can see them yourself, not all will be suitable for containers but you can ask here about that. What sort of containers are you using as well ?
Smilacina racemosa is an early flowering perennial ; similar growth habit to Solomon's Seal , but not as invasive .
That is a really nice one with scented flowers. Unfortunately in our little garden it was not invasive at all and disappeared. I do think that was my fault though. Also you might find it under the name Maianthemum now, I only know because I was looking to get some more recently. It is that nice
Thanks all, I've started looking at your ideass. Here's the area (hose, slabs etc will go) Pretty sheltered, but not a lot of light. I would do a tub per plant like for my seaside garden, round the vocorn in the sun,pictured
