I'm not sure if you are the same person who posted this question in the GWeb forum, but here is an answer from there:

Ph. aurea; S. fastuosa, Ph. nigra; Ph. dulcis; Ph. humilis; Ph. vivax 'Aureocaulis'. These have all done well for me in the Seattle area. Amount of available sunshine will be a big factor.

Local conditions seem to be very significant factors as you implied, so hopefully more folks from the PNW will reply.[/i][/b]
