[Columbine](https://www.prairiemoon.com/aquilegia-canadensis.html) does well in shade and supports hummingbirds. If your soil is on the wetter side you could try [dwarf Viburnum cassinoides](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/viburnum/lil-ditty-witherod-viburnum-viburnum-cassinoides) though it does need some sun. You could also try [Summersweet](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/clethra/sugartina-crystalina-summersweet-clethra-alnifolia). Pennslyvania's state flower is the Mountain Laurel, a very shade tolerant flowering shrub.
