Hi all, I have a raised garden bed in the front of my house (south facing). It is set a few feet back under a roof overhang, so it gets basically no rain or sun.

Any ideas for things I can plant there that wouldn’t require me to remember to water them more than once or twice a month?

I’ve gotten a couple suggestions for hostas, but something a bit flashier would be nice.

EDIT: I am in the USA, and referring to USDA zone 7.

Columbines can do dry shade once they are established, but your shade might be too deep.
