for beneath the canopy & around the trunk- Ivies (sorry), Lamiums, Vinca, Ajuga, small spring bulbs will grow happily though these until the canopy closes over later in the yr. Cyclamen. Bergenias & Heucheras & some hardy Geraniums will cope too. More plants by Mrs MacGregor

Steep bank

, and are tough. Vincas provide strong ground cover. Ornamental grasses like carex and festuca might be good. The RHS website has a garden planner where you can feed in information about your needs and get a list of plants. Just type rhs,org,uk/plant selector by MontyDan

with the astilbes adding a fuzz of colour in the dappled shade. Try hellebors or a carpets of vinca minor. I'll just list a few plant ideas, maybe nice to add in some bulbs too: English bluebells, Snowdrops, Cyclamen, Liriope muscari, Lamium, Bergenia, Tellima, Wood by cat woman

North Facing Front Garden

the choice & success of some plants. With that aspect the best colour will usually be in the spring when any overhead tree canopy is less. Heucheras, hardy geraniums- lots to choose, spring bulbs, tellima, epimediums, lamiums, vincas- the last 3 all excellent by sarahandrob
