Both Hyacinthoides non-scripta and Mertensia virginica should do well for
you.

You may want to try Campanula as well.

One of my earliest memories is of picking bluebells, presumably
Hyacinthoides non-scripta, in the English woods. I'd like to try
growing some in our garden in the North Carolina piedmont, but I am
unsure whether they would tolerate our hot summers. Any ideas? If
Hyacinthoides won't work, I may try Mertensia virginica as a
substitute.
