Shade Happy Plants

As I've been looking for plants to fill my shade gardens, which are numerous due to the 10 fully mature pecan trees in our yard, I've collected this list. Hopefully it will help you out if you have the same issues that I have with finding plants to fill the shady spots :)
• Astillbe (Red, white, lavender, pink)
• Coral Bells (Heuchera)
• Ferns
• Lilly-of-the-valley
• Hardy PerennialLillis
• Forget-Me-Nots (6-8” tall w/ small blue flowers)
• Liriope (Be sure to put this in a sunk container or get a non-invasive
variety)
• Helleborus (Lenten Rose)
• English PrimRose
• Hydrangea (can be planted in full sun to full shade)
• Caldiums (annuals unless dug up and brought in for the winter)
• Hardy Cyclamen
