Long blooming plants for shade

I need to find flowering plants that will grow in the flower beds that border the north side of my house. Due to the trees in the front yard this area gets no more than 1 maybe two hours of direct sunlight a day. Some dappled light after that but not much. Soil is red clay but it has been amended to improve drainage. My colour scheme is in shades of blue and white with some light pinks for interest. I'd like season long color so long blooming would be helpful. A few plants with silvery foliage would be a definate plus. Perennials are a favorite but I'm not adverse to putting in annuals. I've already put in the some white foxgloves and two different types of monkshood. All are leafing out nicely and have put on good size. Some of the white foxglove are even beginning to flower.

But I need more variety. Can you folks help me out?

Thanks,

Patrick
