I also have a Brunnera "Jack Frost", though this is low growing, Winter Heather Valerie Griffiths which is now 18 inch high at least, and 2 feet across with lovely purple flowers after 3 years, also St Johns Wort, Purple leaved Hebe, Hellebore and Astilbe all growing in severe shade.

My Leucanthemum x superbum grows happily in an east-facing bed, as do Japanese Anemones. I also have Actaea simplex and Chelone obliqua growing and flowering in there. Some asters will take some shade, too - I have a tall white one - Aster novae-angliae 'Herbstschnee' which flowers reliably every year.
I even grow Heleniums there - as long as there is some sun for part of the day, they seem to be OK.
