Can you plant perennials in an ivy bed by digging a hole in the ivy, and will they flower?

Question

The ivy bed is in light shade.

Answer 1

This is not the best growing conditions due to extreme competition for water and nutrients from the established ivy. Plus the ivy may regrow rapidly and cover the flowering plants. However, if that is the only space you have, give it a try. Be sure to select perennials that do well in light shade.
