Impatiens, lambs ear, and variegated grasses
Just to give you some Ideas:
The companion plants I have in my part shade areas are: hostas, Lady’s Mantle, Pansy-Viola, Bellflower-campanula, Astilbe, Beardtongue-penstemon, Bleeding heart, Foxglove and columbine.
Those are in the same shady area under trees. Most of them are perennials, the violas come back by themselves by self seeding. I put the taller growing ones in the background.
All the hostas are in the front,a double row, forming a long boomarang shape.
In my shady,moist border there grow Hellebores,ferns,campanulas and cyclamen besides hostas.
The ferns make an evergreen backdrop to the other plants,hellebores including the Christmas,Lent and Easter varieties give a long flowering period.Cyclamens naturalize well under everything.
