I'm not sure what perennials are left, but I'm pretty sure there are a few of the following. Come spring, I'll update it, but this will be it!
BETONY (Stachys Officinalis) HERB
Considered an "herb" by some, it likes sun to partial shade, and is great in the shade garden. Flower bloom on a short spike at the top of a tall stem, then has
growth further down. This adds color and brightness to an otherwise dull area. Height reaches 2 feet or more, with a spread of 1- 1 1/2 feet. Blooms May to June, but mine have bloomed miuch longer and later than this. Flowers are a reddish purple to pink. These are deer and black walnut resistant. Once established, they are drought tolerant.

CAMPANULA PINK CHIMES
This bellflower is cherry pink with reddish purple dots all over! The chimelike flowers are 2 inches long and hang from the stems in such quantity, that the plant itself needs staking. It likes sun to part shade, regular watering, and reaches up to 16 inches tall. This should be contained, as it spreads from rhizomes and self seeds readily. Beautiful plant if contained.
