  Flowering shade and moisture tolerant shrubs are:  Fothergilla, Mahonia, ,
Prunus lauroceracus, Sarcoccoa, Azalea vaseyi, A. viscosa, Calycanthus floridus,
Clethra alnifolia and Rhododendron maximum.

Moisture tolerant non-flowering shrubs for your conditions include:
Ligustrum, Ilex glabra, Cornus alba, C. sericea, C. racemosa and Thuja
(Arbor-Vitae).

Here's a good start, I hope.
