Azaleas & rhododendrens bloom in May, and the rhodos might also enjoy the protection that the upper deck provides. Rhodos need alot of water as their roots do not grow deep. I also like hostas for shaded areas - they will grow & spread just about anywhere and bloom in June, July, August here. Lily of the valley does well in shade and will spread as well - and they are beginning to bloom now. I have never had rabbits eat any of these plants - hope this helps.

All ferns, and other green vines and plants like pacasandra. I have heard that spreading cat hair around the edges of a garden can keep critters out. Of course, you first have to find a shedding cat. Come to my house, Dali is shedding everywhere! Begonias do best in shady spots, impatiens,too. All ferns, and other green vines and plants like pacasandra.
