What kind of flowers or plants can be grown in the shade in Denver Colorado?

Sweetjack, I%26#039;m just about 100 miles south of you in Pueblo. I like to use this company for reference:

Not only do they have an amazing colorful catalog, most all their plants are xeriscape plants, or low water plants....which is something you know we need here in Colorado! Order their catalog! It%26#039;s a great reference! I%26#039;ve used them many times and they are very helpful!

I would recommend Boxwood, Yew, Kinnickinnk, Hosta, Campanula (Blue Clip and White Clip can be grown in sun or shade), Bleeding Hearts, Heuchera (Coral Bells) if the area gets a couple of hours of sun, Carex, Wooly Thyme, Ajuga, Creeping Jenny, Lamium, Euonymus (might be a little marginal in Denver). Anyway, that%26#039;s a handful. Here%26#039;s a great website for shade plants.
