Default Shrubs for sheltered shady spot

Hi All

I am needing suggestions for shrubs for shady sheltered spot.

I have moved my shed and am now left with a corner that looks bare.

I plan to plant them in large containers.

I have ferns there at the moment but would prefer evergreen.


Sarcococca confusa, Hamamelis, Aucubas, Choisya, Azaleas, clump
forming bamboos, Berberis, Viburnums, Mahonias, Hollies, Skimmias.
You'd need to check for hardiness in your particular area.
