Flower Perrenials for the Shade -Reply

Try to get a good shade book at your library if
you're so inclined, but here are my "pics"

Bleeding heart (dicentra spectablis)
Hosta
Camellia
Leycesteria formosa
Lamium
Ligularia
Astilbe
Jacob's ladder (polemonium)
Lungwort (pulmonaria)
Painted fern (?)
Foxglove

You could probably also grow bees balm
(monarda) and obedient plant (phystogia),
there, they grow anywhere, but are spready. 
Also corydalis lutea, hellebore, and lady's
mantle (alchemilla).  

If you want extra summer color fill in with
annual impatience, lobelia, pansies,
schizanthus, fuschia, heliotrope.  

All of these do well for me in zone 6b/7a.

Does anyone have recommendations for
flowering perrenials for the shade?
This are gets sun in the morning until 11 a.m.
and then is shaded all
day. I'd like to plant some flowering perrenials
that will bloom
June-October. I plant tulips in the spring and I
border this area with
impatience but would like to add some taller
(12-24" or so) perrenials
in the back. Any ideas?
