1. Boxwood
2. Inkberry Holly
3. Hemlock (dwarf c.v's include 'Jeddeloh' 'Cole's Prostrate')
4. Azalea/Rhododendron
5. Yew
6. Oakleaf Hydrangea
7. Burning Bush
8. Pieris
9. Virginia Sweetspire
10. Euonymus
11. Summersweet
These are the best shrubs to grow in shade that are all hardy to at least USDA Zone 5. Boxwood, Inkberry Holly, Yew, Rhododendron (not Azalea), Pieris, and Euonymus are all evergreen. The others are deciduous. Very few good landscaping shrubs can grow in full shade. The common question is "What can I grow in my shaded labdscape???" Now you have a few really good options! There may be a few more I didn't list, but these are about it. Leave a comment if I left any out that are hardy to at least zone 5.
Happy planting!
