I love my shade gardens the best of all. I keep expanding them and now I can hardly keep up with all the work, but ah, the joy. I believe I have many of the plants listed in above posts that grow in zone 5a.

Did anyone mention Pulmonaria (Lungwort) ‘Excalibur’ Silver leaves/edged green? Or
Cimicifuga racemosa ‘Atropurpurea?' I love the blue corydalis, but it never survives in my garden; to frail, I think. I love the Ligularia 'Othello' for its deep green leaves with burgundy undersides and stems; the orange flowers can be off-putting to some, but I like them.

Here is one photo of the Kirengeshoma palmata (not in bloom).
