Yes, clay soil and NNE facing... Many plants do well: helebores, ferns, geranium, phlox, globe thistle, euphorbia; some do okay: astrantia, roses, geums. I need some suggestions. Have you grown plants successfully in similar conditions? If it helps

pic is blurred, on the main pic its the the one bottom right. by the way, im sure the left bottom one is horsetail, correct if wrong ... ? Think you're right about the horsetail djjjuk, And it's probably a wild geum, wood avens perhaps, with it. Seeds
