<<Thank you to all who responded. I will keep your suggestions as this
planting scenario has always been a challenge for me.
But I have one other comment. Seems that most of what everyone suggested
are spring bloomers or shorter perennials. Any suggestions for things that get 4-6' for dry semi-shade?>>
One plant that is large and does well in dry shade is American Spikenard, Aralia racimosa.
If you need a plant that will grow in deep shade and reaches 4-6 feet tall some of the carrion flowers do very well, attractive green leaves in summer that turn bright yellow in the fall. I love all the different forms of carrion flowers I have. From the bushy ones to the long semi-viney ones. They have green flowers in the spring and blue berries in mid summer.
