Shade Gardening: Favorite Astilbe?, 1 by

As you can tell, I didn't tidy up for this shot. A couple of Cimicifuga in pots for my daughter. Looking up the worst slope (therefore the least tidy) towards neighbor's house. Relying a lot on ground covers to prevent erosion. Also working on eliminating that nasty invasive Campanula (forget the name) that I innocently planted before doing more work in this area. Epimediums have no problem getting established which surprised me. Also Campanula poscharskyana settles in along the edges of the terraced areas (using tree branches stacked against rebar to hold the dirt back). Those are woodland ferns that I have to pull out when they get out of control.
