Re: Disporum and Maianthemum advice please

How about Helleborus foetidus (a black green that would contrast with the
lividus), Ligularias and/or Farfugium, Geranium phaeum?

I thought Anthriscus Ravens Wing was an annual, but you write as if it is a
perennial.  Mine certainly died in the late summer.  I am hoping for seed.
