Medicinal or otherwise interesting plants that thrive in shade?

Migrated topic.

Hey everyone!

I'm currently planning what seeds that should be sown this spring. I am constantly extending my collection of medicinal, entheogenic, edible, spice and otherwise interesting and unusual plants. This year I want to continue on a mission I started last year, which was to find more suitable plants for indoors.

My windows are already packed to the edge (and a bit over), so what I am looking for now is plants that tolerate shade well. They must tolerate total or nearly total shade, as they will only get indirect sunlight from windows. Not to mention that I live in a country with very little sun during the winter, and I would of course prefer it if the plants survive this.

So, any suggestions out there? I am, at least currently, only looking for plants that have some beneficial value - either as medicine, entheogen, food or spice - but also plants with an unusual apparency or otherwise interesting qualities.

All suggestions and thoughts are highly appreciated! Thanks! :)
 
Maybe get a Coleus? I've seen them a lot in garden shops being sold as houseplants. They're pretty too!
