I also love them but mine suffer in the long wet winters over here, but they often recover in spring. Try Lilium martagon Shady, they are gorgeous and certainly hardy for you, they need a couple of hours of sun though..They bloom in May-June in my place. I think many plants that bloom in May in my zone probably would be a month later in your place. Then there are even more choices... Aconitums are hardy too till zone 5. Campanula takesimana is gorgeous with large nodding flowers, also hardy for you plus all the other campanulas in my list. also hardy until zone 4-5 are all the different types of Lysimachia. Then there are the Ligularia's, also late bloomers... I thought pics say more than just names, so I will post some of mine, I'm not sure if all of them are hardy in your place, you can find out in PF, but I think most will be.
