One idea for a container garden in a mostly-shady area.
Hellebores (aka: winter roses, Lenten roses) bloom in winter, come in many colours, last for months and are surprisingly cold-hardy. Here’s how to divide them into clumps (free flowers!), as well as a couple of plant ideas for filling out a container.

Step 4
Fill out the rest of the planter with other plants. I chose low-growing plants with interesting foliage that don’t mind shade and moderate to damp soil. Golden Japanese rush (Acorus pusillus aurea) and black mondo grass for my tiny clumping grasses, and Australian native violet (Viola hederacea) as a creeping groundcover for everywhere else. These plants can also be easily divided!
