Happy, I've got several of your list growing in my garden.

Deinanthe caerulea grows well for me, but I really don't like it that much.
The flowers are pretty, but they face down. I find the overall texture of the plant to be coarse.
I have deinanthe bifida (the white flowered version) - same complaint.

I don't have cyclamen hederifolium, but I love my cyclamen coum.
It's planted right outside our front porch, since it's leaves come up in fall and stay all winter.
The leaves are beautifully variegated, so it's nice to have garden interest all winter.
I can't post of pix of the leaves, since it's summer dormant.
But coincidentally, I have a bloom today (see post below).
The blossoms are more often pink than white, but the one today is white.

My rabdosia longituba grows well. It's not super showy, but I think it's a nice plant. Not fussy at all.

And I've got lots of spigelia. It does really well here.

RCN - I like Naylor Creek and Garden Vision for epimediums.
The latter is the nursery run by Darrell Probst, who's usually referred to as the guru of epimediums.
His annual offering is amazing. Unfortunately, their catalog isn't on line.
Heronswood used to have a lot also, but alas, their catalog isn't what it once was.

And Stormy, I still promise to find you the source for the gopher cages!
Organizational skill isn't my finest attribute.
