OK, let's try this. I moved from a 90% sun garden to a 45% sun garden. My three favorite perennials that do really well in shade but which I also grew in sun with added water are:

Athyrium nipponicum 'Ursula's Red'.

Heuchera sanguinea 'Firefly' - one of the few you can grow from seed. And it's tough and makes it through winter.

Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum'

I loved the fact that I took all these plants from sun to shade. I think there are a lot of plants that bloom really well in shade that people associate with sun: polemonium caeruleum (Jacob's ladder) is another.
