My garden butts up to a churchyard. I have Cyclamen growing just under the
canopy of the Yews, though admittedly in full sun for 6 hours May-Sep.
Underneath the Yews in the rest of the churchyard there plenty of nettles
bindweed, various grasses et al.

I'd give Cyclamen, Aconites (the January flowering type and snowdrops a go)


But, but, but, the OP wanted something to fill in the gaps in the lower part
of the trunks of his Yew hedge. I don't think these delightful little
plants will do that. Only he can tell, of course. But I have the
impression that he's looking for something bushier and higher and so
on......

That wasn't my impression, he said 'cover or at least partially fill a
shaded area' I took that to mean ground cover.
