Bleeding heart is great - fills out and flowers quickly in the spring before most other plants. I also have a black bugbane in my shade garden that's really nice towards the end of summer. As others have suggested, astilbe, heuchera and various ferns work well. Someone mentioned lady's mantle - I find it spreads out of control pretty easily and personally never found it that appealing.
