Also add to other's suggestions...

Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum)

Jacob's Ladder (Poleminium)

Globe spurge (Euphorbia)

Brunnera, Jack's Frost is most tolerant for our area

Lady's Mantle

Japanese columbine, particularly the blue and white variety

Ferns, Ostrich fern is particularly nice for the background

Maritima Silene, very nice blue-grey foliage with small white carnation type flowers, very hard to find now though

Some Cranesbill, smaller mounding varieties, like the Bloody (sanguineum) cranesbill or Bigfoot which also has fragrant leaves

Stachys grandiflora or miniature, usually Vales (Black Diamond) carries this

Bergenia

Monkshood

Globe flower (Trollius)
