Another suggestion is schizophragma hydrangeaoides (sp?) 'Moonlight.'
It flowers looks a bit like a climbing hydrangea, but the leaves are shiny,
small leaves that are a tad silvery to reflect light. Mine is under a 100
year old Doug fir and holding its own.
A suggestion: In really tough areas like this, I use a huge pot that
tolerates outdoor conditions, with NO BOTTOM. It is basically like a "mini
raised bed," allowing the plant to get established before it really has to
compete with the tree roots. If it can compete, fine. If it wants to stay
in the pot and be a smaller plant, that's fine too. Try it, you'll like it!
