Shade plants OTHER than Hostas (and bleeding hearts!)

Columbines do well in partial shade. Violets are a nice shade loving ground cover. If you want edibles, currents and gooseberries both do well in shade.

Here's a list of shade plants.

I really like coleus.

I plant irish moss, soapwort, and mint. The mint doesn't grow as crazyin shade as it does in full sun.

Monarda, primrose, lily-of-the-valley, campanula, and astilbe all like the shade.

Oh - and I LOVE coleus, too. There are so many gorgeous varieties!!!!

lots of good suggestions....I also love toad lilies. They bloom late summer when a lot of other shade plants are done.

I have beautiful Iris in my almost completely shaded fron tflower bed.

Comfrey plants like part shade. What about a medicinal herb garden? Lots of them are shade lovers!

I was just inhaling some of my Lily of Valley last night...it spreads, but not aggressively in my area. It's a nice shade of green, too.

Seconding the astilbe suggestion. They are so beautiful, come in quite a few colors, and love shady spots.

My woodland poppy is doing great. Flowering now. Plus I agree with canadian ginger, very nice groundcover.

Lenten or Christmas rose is really nice and very low maintenance.

I'm going to third astilbe and fourth columbine. I like color is the shade, not just varying shades of green.

Have you checked out helebores? I love them but I don't have any shade.

I just put in a lot of new beds in heavy shade - and almost all the plants mentioned have a place. Hostas can be great - but they need to be dug up and thinned (just chop up the root base to a smaller size and replant) and devided every so often. There are some cool looking varieties with nearly lemon yellow leaves, and tiny to giant in size.

There are several varieties of bleeding hearts - so you can get a different look. Also Helleborus, which I think several people have mentioned. There are many very cool varieties.

Violets seem to like my yard.

Moss can be quite nice, if you can encourage it to take hold

There are also many different varieties of ferns, so you can get more interesting ones than just the regular old green (e.g. Japanese painted ferns).

Trillium and jack in the pulpit, are both woodland shade plants.

Impatiens do really well in the shade as long as they get enough water. Begonias also do well. They are annuals here but I've brought in the Busy Lizzies (Impatiens) over the winter as houseplants and they flower throughout the year.

Windflowers are nice in the spring and do great under treas.

Coleus are easy and come in many varieties.

Begonia do well in partial shade/shade as well.

Astilbes also come to mind.
