What types of flowers like to grow in mostly shady areas?

I have a spot that gets morning sun and the rest of the day is shady. I want to plant flowers there. I have a couple hostas and some lillies that are doing well. What else can I plant here?

What types of flowers like to grow in mostly shady areas?
I have full shade on the back of my house. I have planted different hostas, ferns, heucheras, brunera, fern leaf bleeding heart and standard bleeding heart and for annuals i planted inpatiens.


All these plants do very well and look beautiful no matter what time of the growing season.





The fern leaf bleeding heart blooms all summer..pretty pink dangling flowers. The standard bleeding heart flowers for about 4 weeks, after that it just continues to grow...it does not die back.
Reply:I have a totally shaded area and have lots of sucess with impatiens and huecheras. I like planting the white impatiens in shade, the white really pops out. Lamium also does well in shade and spreads really nicely. Also try some ferns. Japanese painted ferns have really nice color in them and don%26#039;t get too huge. Bleeding Hearts also like the shade, however they do die back in the summer so you are left with a hole to fill.
