This year, things are growing pretty well.

Tokyo wood fern- lost 4 of 6, I think I should have planted Dryopteris felix-mas. It rains in the summer in Tokyo. Unlike here. I lose many Japanese plants that want more summer water.
Tellima- lost one this summer. Not bright red in fall. The tiny flowers are nice. not spreading much.
Iris f. var lutea- lost 7 of 10, the others made tiny late sprouts this year, they seem fine. No flowers yet. I hope they make it.
Hosta- lost 1 of 3, clearly it died of dehydration. Others slow growth, but alive.
Iris "Abbeys Violet'- Edelweiss Nursery was correct. It loves dry shade! Groundcover!
Epimedium- All lived. Slowly spreading. Flowers bigger and a much brassier yellow than I expected. Bloomed a long time this spring. Leaves look like Bindweed.
Daylilly 'Flore pleno'- I got from pfg in trade, could not find a source to buy it. It is doing great, has been blooming all summer. Will monitor for possible invasiveness
Heuchera 'Autumn Bride'- all survived, looks like it wants a bit more water. Flowers are pretty but fall over so looks messy. Not sure it was worth the $
G. 'Samobor'- All survived. Looks like wants a bit more water. Blooms not very noticeable, too dark and small, but bees love it. Dark patterned leaves a bit lost in the shade.
G. 'Lily Lovell'- All survived, looks a bit better than 'Samobor', flowers a bit brighter.
Polypodium fern- all survived. Native. Spreads Slooooowly, but I knew this already. 6" tall evergreen. Tough.
Digitalis lutea- tough, bloomed long time, Will look great when has spread a bit, but flopped. Worth staking. Blooms very small and soft colored, but in the shade against tree bark it is quite noticeable.
Digitalis trojana- died first winter.
Hellebore- Tops! bloomed winter till late spring. Bloomed so long it clashed with bright yellow 'February Gold' daffodils. Can't wait till it fills in more. Lights up with afternoon sun through the blooms when I come up driveway. I picked this one also because although flowers face down, the backs of petals also yellow so it looks good from above too.
A. 'The Third Harmonic'- Annie's Annuals said it tolerates dry shade in N. Calif, so I tried it. Survived! Fabulous blooms, short bloom early summer, back in bud again now. Flops, worth staking. Will monitor for reported possible invasive tendency.
Int bearded iris- Survived, not doing great, no blooms yet.

Bergenia added 2014, surviving. I put them in to get ground covered after Comcast dug up part of my garden. Spring magenta flowers not part of The Plan.
Planted fall 2013 Erythronium 'Pagoda' bright yellow blooms in spring. Put in driest spot, might not survive. But it is sort of native and summer dormant.

#1, #2 Hellebore in March
#3 Tellima in April, before blooms
#4 Erythronium 'Pagoda'
#5 Epimedium is really bright like the daffodil

So far weeds have not been much of a problem. Yay!
