I have a relatively new garden area that I plan to start from scratch again next spring. It gets late afternoon sun, but even then is sheltered by a redbud and a bottlebrush buckeye. It was woodland until hurricane Isabel took care of the trees, so its soil is incredibly rich and moisture-retentive (I don't even need a shovel to dig - I swear.) I have deer problems, so no hostas or other deer food, please.

Plants already there include thalictrum, celandine poppy, variegated Solomon's Seal, woodland phlox, turtleheads, tiarella, Christmas, autumn and cinnamon ferns, hellebores, and WAY too many Japanese anemones. Lots of wildflowers too: may apples, toothwort, spring beauties, bloodroot, trout lilies.

Suggestions for special plants that love rich soil?
