I've been lurking and enjoying everyones creations. I've just put a bed together with red carex, yellow sedum, hellebores (which you can't see very well yet, lemon button ferns (so they'll stand out against the dark hellebores) white dichondra, silver lace fern (It will get about three feet tall). You'll be able to see the red Carex when the ground cover fills in. The tree is a acer palmatum 'Butterfly' but because it's in the shade it stays primarily white. There is another red acer at the end of the bed that you can't see. That's why the red Carex. (the rock picks up the red too). And the goal was to build an evergreen bed in total bright shade and make it work. It was a VERY fun challenge. Took me months of happy exploring.
