Leatherleaf mahonia does very well in shade and doesn't mind clay at
all. It's not a water hog either. Yellow flowers in early Spring/late
winter followed by blue berries for the birdies. Evergreen. But it is
picky as h*** so may not be a good choice if you have to brush up
against it. Mahonia bealei I believe is the right name. I love mine.

I have decided to take out a snowball shrub/bush that is in too much shade.
It is on the northwest corner of the house very protected and in full shade.
My zone is 6b and I think I would prefer something that stays evergreen but
I would rather have spring and fall color. I have an oak leaf hydrangea
beside it and some columbines but they get more sun.
