Shade perennials - what survived

So I planted some shade perennials because frankly, there's just too much shade in my yard and there a few shade spots at my inlaw's house.

celandine poppy - survived and is really big.

Columbine - survived and looks OK. I often find them unreliable.

Ostrich Fern - survived and looks OK.

Brunnera macrophylla - flowered in March

Hosta blue color (forgot which kind) - survived and looks OK.

Heuchera hybrid 'Midnight Rose' - dead

Dwarf Crested Iris - dead

Foam flower - survived, but is rather small.

So far, it appears that Heuchera may be harder to grown than expected. The winter was fairly mild, so it should have survived. The Iris may actually need more light than expected.

Other things I have considered trying, what do you think?

Japanese Painted Ferns

Lamium

Lungwort

More Hostas

Foxglove

Wild Ginger
