Definitely I would spend all my money on getting peonies trees. I would get one of every color. They are expensive. But they are beautiful and long lived. Well worth the expense if I could just come up with the dollars.

If that isn't of interest here are some other choices.

Actaea pachypoda - Dolls Eyes: All parts of this plant are toxic so not good if you have animals or children.

Alchemilla erythropoda - Dwarf Lady's Mantle

Anemone nemorosa 'Flore Pleno' - Anemone, Wood: as a flowering ground cover I think this is really nice

Arisaema triphyllum - Jack-in-the-Pulpit

False Spirea - there are a number of colors and heights of these and they are great looking. I love anything that looks like a feather.

Pigsqueak - I know the name is off putting but if you like pink I would definitely look into some of these.

Clintonia umbellulata - Speckled Wood Lily: The blooms are white and it would fit in well with what you already have but it wouldn't provide a contrast so maybe not.

Lilies of the valley: Pink or white

Chinese Winter Hazel: As a small tree this is great.

Hope something here is useful for you.

Maybe get some coral bells, trillium, astilbes, hostas, or bleeding hearts. All of these do very well in the shade.
