Some plants prefer sun but will tolerate shade and they are included.

Here are some options for plants that do well in shade:

Perennials: hellebores, hosta (some varieties need dappled shade), toad lily, astilbe, variegated Solomon's seal, foamflower, Japanese painted fern, Christmas fern, Dixie wood fern, coral bells, bleeding heart.
