A nice summer annual for shade is Impatiens. Begonias take shade too. Hostas are a great perennial, as are Astilbe, ferns, columbine. Ajuga is a good perennial "evergreen" ground cover that also looks great when it blooms.

Have a look at the 'Gardening in the shade' forum. 2 below this one. May be a few ideas there you can use.

and if you find anything that grows under a magnolia, let me know. around here, they are just mulched under, or raised beds are put under them because of the deep shade.

my grandmother had a huge magnolia, and she put benches all around it, and put her house plants under it in the summer. made it look better, and protected the plants from the hot summer sun. but i remember how NOTHING would grow under it, not even briars!
