Joshua:

    You might want to consider a Trollius (Globeflower). It is hardy to
zone five but since you are up against a greenhouse I suspect with this
protection and the heat of the green house you should be able to make it
survive. T. x cultorum 'Earliest of All' is one of my favorites. It
bears nice 3" yelllow flowers in midspring. It gets about 20" tall and
will spread about 16".

    Hope this helps.
