Not variegated, but I am a big fan of Epimediums in this situation. They
can take just about anything once they get established. Vanvoueria hexandra
is also a good choice, though it is deciduous, whereas some of the
Epimediums are.  Gene's suggestion of ephemeral natives is excellent -
Sanguinaria, Erythronium, Anemonella - Or maybe(non-native) for early
spring cover - Anemone nemorosa in any of it's many selected forms.
