If you want any whites for the shadier spots, there are plenty. Polemonium, Dicentra, Polygonatum, Convallaria [lily if the valley] Iberis [perennial candytuft] white foxgloves, Jap. anemones etc. Most of those will also take some sun quite happily too if the soil doesn't dry out completely.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've seen yellow Thalictrum flavum growing in dry, dappled shade so would be inclined to give it a go.
Aquilegia chrysantha is very nice, taller and airier than the usual Aquilegias:
Kirengeshoma is worth considering but it does start to look a bit sickly if the soil is too dry.
Disporum 'Green Giant' has nice greeny yellow bell-shaped flowers in spring:
If we're including white, definitely plant Eurybia divaricata, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. For more height, Doellingeria umbellata might be worth a go.
I've found Selinum wallichianum grows well in fairly dry conditions with me, about 12" of topsoil over rubble in the shade of a fence.
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
Just check it is white though - most are pink @TheGreenMan
Oh it's definitely white. I was looking at them last week
Smashing Great plants, and ideal for underplanting with early stuff- bulbs etc. They aren't fully furnished out until May here - probably not much earlier where you are, even in milder winters/springs. Add in some later flowering verticals and it gives a good opportunity to have a nice little environment in a square yard or so.

I don't mind height. I've got the rowan and mahonia in that area
