Thoughts on plantings for a shady walkway on side of house?

6b, Massachusetts. Wondering if anyone has suggestions on what to plant on the side of my house where it's mostly shaded. I have a row of hemlocks and think it makes sense to plant something under them but not sure what (coral bells, ferns, foamflower, etc?). Not sure whether to plant something along the foundation too, but should mention I have 2 sprinkler heads there that spray out towards the hemlocks. I will be replacing the stone walkway at some point, and it will be more centered.

Thanks for any suggestions! Strongly prefer native plants, and tolerant of rabbits is a plus :)
