This grows well in the shade in my garden. I keep it small but I'm sure it would manage 6ft if I let it.
This grew well, flowered and stayed golden until late summer in the shade, north side of the house, in my last garden. It was in a large pot. It was quite bushy though, not very narrow.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've got a fatsia japonica and a twisted hazel in my most shady border, they can be pruned to size, and the fatsia certainly brightens it up in winter with its lovely flowers. You could try hypericum, mine doesn't get much sun at all. Box is another one.
