Hey all, first time posting! I'd like to start some native plants in front of my home. The area is full shade and located in central Ohio (zone 6). I'm hoping to put in some foundational shrubs with a mix of perennial flowering plants. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

to the site. Some plants I would look for are.
Wild Geranium
Tiarella
Wild Ginger
Plenty of ferns to choose from
May Apple
Blood Root
Goat's Beard
Trillium
Hellebore
Heuchera

Hello OhioNewbie. While NJbob has some good recommendations I found that Goat's Beard is super invasive, my patch went wild and it took years to eradicate it from the garden when I didn't want it spreading everywhere. Some of the natives are nice but hard to find and hard to get started without about perfect woodland conditions. Hosta's do well in shade, Celandine Poppys do well in my shady woods and I'm in Indiana so we're the same Zone. Annuals like impatiens add color and are inexpensive to find during the spring garden sales.
Just some options to consider.

For woodland poppy you can choose Stylophorum diphyllum which is native , rather than the non native.

A fellow gardener gave me may apples and they've multiplied well with no effort. Not exactly flowering, meaning you won't enjoy much color.

Columbine?

I would go rhododendron closest to the house, because they will get biggest are evergreen and bloom beautifully in dense shade.
Then I would alternate Hydrangea And azalea. Azalea have tiny leaves that are kept longer, bloom beautifully around the last week of May through June 15t. hydrangea are ugly in winter- just bare stems, but bush out gorgeousLy early spring and around July 1 they bloom tremendously and look good through frost. Your last front short layer, I'd go packisandra between primrose, ferns and bleeding hearts. Primrose are bright happy tough spring plants about 8-10" that bloom just after tulips, the bleeding hearts max at 24" tall and come up early, with primrose then start to die back as hosta and Fern Hit their stride.
