I have a flowerbed approximately 10 feet long and 3 feet in depth that is in shade for most of the day.
I would like to plant some tall perennials at the rear and smaller ones towards the front of the bed that require a minimum of maintenance.
Can the forum help in suggesting suitable plants please?
Many thanks in anticipation.

In the meantime, the RHS website has a plant selector feature which yielded this list for partial shade but no reference to soil type - https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/Search-Results?form-mode=true&context=l%3Den%26q%3D%2523all%26sl%3DplantForm%26r%3Df%252Fplant_garden_type%252Fcottage%2B%2526%2Binformal%2Bgarden%26r%3Df%252Fplant_sunlight%252Fpartial%2Bshade%26r%3Df%252Fplant_planting_places%252Fflower%2Bborders%2Band%2Bbeds
and this list for full shade

Loads of possibilities then.
