Please can someone suggest something that is fairly bright and cheerful to plant in my fairly dry area of woodland garden under the trees and shrubs.  I am planting daffodils there and want something that the bulbs can push up through but keeps the ground elder at bay (I have spent all summer dealing with the ground elder).  All the usual things seem boring.  I want some colour and not too much height and evergreen.  Too much to ask!!

Dont want:  Ivy, Periwinkle, Hypercicum, Pachysandra
