Lots of shade loving plants but a lot depends on what kind of sol you have - loamy, sandy, chalky, clay, moist, well-drained, dry - and roughly where you are as that will point to temperature ranges and exposure to wind and rain.

Hosta, Brunnera, Heuchera, Dryopteris fern should all be OK. Some hardy geraniums grow in shade, such as geranium phaeum. If the soil is moist and never dries out you can grow astilbes.
IMO, Garrya looks really boring for at least 11 months of the year.
He calls her the chocolate girl Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her She knows she's the chocolate girl Cause she's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver
Japanese anemone, heuchera, geraniums, ferns, dogs tooth violets, aquilegia, clematis (love their feet in shade) all grow in my shady areas. If dry and free draining look at alpines as well.
