Hi Mary-Rain,

In addition to Hostas, Ferns and Astilbes, there are many, many, shade
tolerant perennials.  Try Primula, Physostegia, Chelone, Kirengoshoma,
Tricyrtis, Phlox, Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Purpurea', or E. dulcis
'Chameleon',Aquilegia, Semiaquilegia,Helleborus,Astrantia,Ajuga, Lysimachia,
Anemone japonica,Digitalis,Echinacea,Fallopia,
Tovara,Gallium,Gentiana,Lamium, Patrinia, Heuchera, Polemonium,
Pulmonaria,Ligularia, LIriope, Acorus, and Lobelia.  All do fabulously wel
in shady conditions -- Not dark conditions.  Most perennials need some light
or dappled shade during their growth periods.

Hope this list gets you started.
