What are some good perennial plants that will work in shady garden borders?

Heuchera is a good plant for partial-shade gardens, as it produces very colorful foliage during the growing season. It creates neat mounds that are compact and suitable for use along a pathway, under trees, or in borders with a variety of plants. The Heuchera plant is known for its colorful leaves, but during its flowering season, it also hosts a delicate flower stalk that is attractive to bees and hummingbirds.
