Thanks slinky, I just need something that will fend for itself, scrambling up there to weed, prune and water isn't going to happen, other than periodically spraying the ivy to keep it down……

They look after themselves largely, no pruning required except maybe once a year in the autumn to cut back the dead bits.They self seed and wont require watering.

There was a piece about what to grow in dry shade on Gardeners World tonight. 10 mins in.

You need to feel under the membrane to see if there is any moisture at all. If it's weed proof it may not let the rain through so nothing will grow. But if there is moisture it's worth having a look at GW.

Not sure how easy it is to get hold of the plants mentioned. They won't be in the supermarket or standard garden centre.
