what is a perineal garden?
I had that problem with my last house. I put in Alpine Rosy Bells, Lental Rose, Wind Flowers, Myrtal, Bleeding Hearts, Impatients, Hostas, Jacobs Ladder, Hardy Hibiscus, Prim Rose, Hardy Azalea, Lilly of the Valley & Hydrangea. & Fuchsia. I also put in some lilies where they got a small amount of sun shine every day. It really depends on what part of the country or what Zone you are in.
I have hostas in my back yard and they flourish in the shade under trees, and we are in similar planting zones.
