What I know I don't want are ferns (i live in the NW, we have plenty) or an invasive vine or any kind of ground cover that spreads out of control...or for that matter, bamboo. Ideally I'm looking for perennials that add color. multiple suggestions that I can place together would be great. Thanks

Hostas thrive about anywhere and hydrangeas would work - the acidity in the soil will determine what color they come out.

Here's a great website that lists some perennial plants and their ideal pH range. It should give you some good ideas on what to plant!
Hope this information helps! GOOD LUCK!

Azaleas, rhododendrons (they want some sun, however). Be careful of the tree's root system, however.
