Planting in Shade

I have a very narrow, small garden that is half shaded by a large hedge — morning sun on hedge side and afternoon sun on opposite side. The soil under the hedge never dries out much. I also have soil between paving slabs that are in need of ground cover — something fast growing and easily maintained would be great. What would I need to have a small, yet pretty, and practical garden. I love flowers!!
