I like ferns, hostas (if no deer), hakonechloa, trilliums, woodland phlox, hellebores, rhododendrons, native azaleas, cornus, dicentra, rodgersia, cercis, mosses, boulders, primula kisoana, pologonatum, epimediums, euphorbia robbiae (watch out it runs), asarum, arum, >>>>>Look at some shade garden pictures and see what you like. some of these things may not be hardy in your area.
