The stripes of white on the edges of the leaves make it really pop!

They are great for that area. Kristal L. Rosebrook Yes, the tricyrtis grows great next to my house where there is a lot of shade. They are great for that area.

I have a general dislike for them most of the time because they sometimes just tend to look sick. I have alwasy found ajuga to be a good groundcover for shady areas. Dicentra ( bleeding heart) is another good choice for shade. Rees Cowden www.greensideupblog.com I agree with your concern about variegated leaves being a problem, especially in shade.

Plus yes .. Toad Lily is gorgeous .. they have cultivars with the most amazing buttery yellow flowers .. I think I will have to indulge in one of those .. of course I have to backtrack on my plant sites to nail the exact one .. but it left one heck of an impression on me .. I'll remember as soon as I see the name of course ! LOL I have both Sunspot and Stoplight .. they are very pretty indeed !

There is a variegated toad lily and there are light colored lungwort leaves that are very fetching. Tiarellas also like deep shade. I was encouraged that you have a japanese maple in the deep shade! :-) I love tricyrtis (toad lily) and pulmonaria (lungwort) that both love shade.
