daisies for shade

I have a real attachment to this flower shape flower even though it's more
associated with meadows than woodlands. I've done fairly well with Rudbeckia
'Goldsturm' in half-shade (plants are much more open than they would be in
the sun), but I've lost all my Anemone blanda (whether due to dry shade, or
squirrels, I don't know) and my coneflowers have to be staked. Any other
suggestions for half-shade? Every now and then I see a reference to
"woodland sunflower" (various species of helianthus), and I also wonder
about Telekia speciosa and inula. How about doronicum? Does it go dormant?
Thanks,
