Help me plant these plant pots

think even Box likes some sun. Something that grows about 3ft tall would look good, but I realise that the shaded aspect means I may have to settle for something like Hostas or ferns? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks They are lovely pots I have by LeadFarmer

you tested your "normal" soil for acidity? It would be difficult to keep your soil in 2 different states like this. If you are growing camellias pieros etc you must have acid soil. The soil you are trying to dig, full of roots, can you dig by jackie-gardener
