Thanks for the list, Bob, excellent information.
I can add one, at least in my climate, the hybrid 'Scintillation' does
quite well for me with no direct sun once the trees leaf out - well, maybe
the odd ray that manages to penetrate the bird cherry and boxelder
overhead, and slide through the holly and barberry to the south of it, but
basically pretty deep shade; getting deeper every year. It's been in
place for upwards of 18 years and flowers faithfully for me each spring if
the deer don't dine on the buds.
