Teddy, you can do some great container gardening in large pots the size of half whiskey barrels and smaller containers as well. You can put in bulbs and let them winter outside they'll bloom for you in the spring. I especially like container gardening because you can easily move the plants around. If you're using those huge half barrels, you can make them lighter by adding a false bottom.

These Heucheras were photographed at night. They share a common container, and the Marmalade is in full bloom, while the snow angel is just starting to bloom with more significant deep blooms. They spent the horrible, horrible winter outside, but can always be kept inside. They have been moved to the shade due to the forbidding heat and sun. The best part of plants in containers is that you can take them with you if and when you move.

I will post some additional shade plants.
