Hello everyone!
I am coming to you with a problem I hope you can help me to solve. This spring I want to create a rock garden in my garden; however, it is shady. I know that not every plant can grow in such place, so I wanted to ask you what to choose. I found this site: https://gardenseedsmarket.com/rock-gardens-en/ with a big offer of different flowers and sales here are amazing so I decided to choose something from it. Which plants will survive in such conditions?

Yes, that site shows a wide range of seeds - not sure I would count all as being a rock garden plants in that section though. Also I notice that there is a minimum order of $64.29 - which seems a lot to me.
There is a website which specialises in plants for shade : http://www.plantsforshade.co.uk/ (http://www.plantsforshade.co.uk/) and I think that you could be guided by the sort of plants they advise for shady conditions. (They don't sell seed and they are closed for plants meantime - but you will see a lot of plants suitable for shade listed there. )
