Southeastern CT, zone 7b. What companion plants do you use alongside your spring ephemerals, to create multi season interest?

I have: toothwort, wild geranium, trillium, Dutchman’s breeches, yellow pimpernel, and wild columbine.

In the same planting area, I do have a couple hosta, and a mature pinnacle hydrangea that functions as a tree. When leafed out, the hydrangea creates enough shade to make the entire garden area *almost fully shaded.
