Pam, I had that problem here and have found that Dwarf Yaupon Holly can
take it, as can almost any holly, but my preferred shrub for foundation
planting is Otto Luyken Laurel (Prunus Laurocerasus 'Otto Luyken')  It
stays small, evergreen, very dark leaves, and blooms twice a year with
white spikes in spring and fall. Used to be hard to find but now Lowes and
Home Depot carry it here.
