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)
