    What size of space have you got for them, and is it dry or damp shade? That will help determine the best subjects. image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Loads to choose from then. image

    Assuming it's just damp and not soaking wet and waterlogged       (image)   Osmanthus, Viburnum, Weigela, Fatsia,  Holly, and Mahonia. Potentillas will also be fine there.  

    Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Camellias and Pieris if the soil's not alkaline.
