"Bleeding Heart" (Dicentra) are spring-blooming and love the shade. I
have several in my yard, and wouldn't be without them.
For a backdrop in a shady bed, don't overlook ferns or mint plants--
both provide lovely dark foliage, which can be a gorgeous backdrop to
flowering perennials.
(A caveat: Beware-- mint can spread like mad!)
