My garden has shady areas from fences. If yours is from fences remember that shade is triangular and anything that can grow up into the light will do well eventually. Otherwise try Euphorbia robbiae, ferns, ivies, Hellebores, Mahonia, Aucuba, Fatsia japonica, Fuchsias, Bergenias. Lots of things will grow but may not flower at all. Choose plants with interesting leaves instead.

If you fancy some wildflowers how about looking at some UK woodland flowers? Suffolk herbs have some lovely varieties that will give you flowers even without the sun on them.
In my shady areas I grow honeysuckle quite well, Lords and ladies and lily of the valley which spreads and smells gorgeous.
