Acid loving shade plant ideas needed

| I have an area which is in almost total shade. I would like to put in some low maintenance plants which would do well with the surrounding pine & cedar trees. I have a Japanese maple in a pot in the area, and it seems to be doing ok. Do Japanese maples like acidic soil?
I'd like to have some plants that will grow tall as well. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! |
