have an idea of shade loving perenials that
i can use. I would like to plant some shrubs/evergreens? as a backdrop. What
shrubs would thrive in these conditions?

Aucuba japonica, Mr. Goldstrike loves shade and will brighten it with the
bright yellow and green mottled leaves it has. I use this as a shady area
hedge; it should grow to 6'.

I also use skimmia japonica in a shady foundation bed. The bright red berries
most of the year against dark evergeen leaves are very pretty.
