Pieris are nice if you have acid soil, mine grow in the sun. Not long flowering but nice and early and then bright coloured leaves, it’s also evergreen.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I assumed you meant the shrub should be large, not the flowers, but you did say ‘dramatic’… One of the smaller, colourful azaleas perhaps, if your soil is on the acid side. If not, a hardy hibiscus shrub. A repeat flowering shrub rose? Any of those can be showy and dramatic depending on the colour and variety you choose.
It would be really helpful if you could give us an indication of the maximum height and spread of shrub you think would fit. It may be a small bed in the middle where there is plenty of space for the branches to spread out and overhang, or a tall, narrow space..
