Default plants in shady dry border

Hi -
I have a largish border in a very awkward place. It is below the leaf
canopy (but 10 ft away from trunk) of a fully grown silver birch.
Other side is a panel fence. The garden faces east/west so one edge of
the border gets sun in the morning - but I've now put up a trellis that
side and want to grow stuff up it - shade midday when the leaves are
out and then some sun in the evening. It is dry due to tree and also
is on a slight slope (north facing!).
Ansy suggestions for plants - I want to plant up the trellis for year
round interest, possibly a jasmine and couple of clematis so that will
create more shade too. The trellis is about 8-10 feet long and 7 ft
high

Take a look at the URG FAQ :~)
