I've also had good luck with Saxifraga stolonifera in dry shade at the base
of trees. Dry shade spring-fall, anyway. In the winter, everything is sodden
here. We do water them about once a month in the summer, but that's about
it. They've only been there a year or two, but they're holding their own and
spreading slowly.

Paul, my problem is I have dry shade. I did try a coleus plant last year and
it did very poor due to that. I do have a big tree that I could try the
coleus
around. Any suggestions for dry shade? Do hellebores need alot of moisture.
I
do not have any of those. And I was thinking of gettting a fern or two.
Would
ferns do okay in dry shade? I tried to water this area last year and
somethings did alright
