Liriope would work well, but one thing that comes to my mind is Plumbago, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides . Here's a pic of mine after just a year and a half. This started from 2 4" pots. It's in FULL shade, it gets maybe 1/2 an hour of first-thing-in-the-morning 'incidental' dappled sun (and I mean FIRST morning, like 6:30, if I hold my arms out just so, heehee), and I think I've watered it maybe twice the whole time it's been there. (I told you guys, I'm a very lazy gardener!!) =O

Sorta hard to tell from the pic, but the patch is about a foot deep by about 3 feet across. Just another idea. I'm hoping that one day it'll spread to dominate the whole neighborhood!! Muahahahahaaa. =D
