Perennials to consider: Aconitum fischeri (Monkshood), Amsonia tabernaemontana (Willow amsonia), Anemonella thalictroides (Rue anemone), Convallaria majalis (Lily of the valley), Cornus canadensis (Bunchberry),
Dodecatheon meadia (Shooting star), Ferns, Helleborus niger (Christmas rose), Hosta (Plantain lily), Lobelia cardinalis (Cardinal flower) and Polygonatum (Solomon's Seal).
