Which perennials grow in the shade?

Cathy asked:
I have a window box as long as my house which is in the shade. Besides Caladiums which are great but only an annual and are very expensive what other flower can i plant in this shady area which is a perennial that is also pretty with some color? that will comke back year after year, also needs a little height?
Also my hibiscus plant last year got covered by little black insects or something this year I can already see little buds but what can I do to prevent the black stuff coming back…could have been something like black fly?
