[SG] Shrub for deep shade


I have decided that my andromeda is probably not getting enough light,
which is why it looks so awful.  So, I want to move it and replace it with
something, but what?  The shrub would go on the north side of my house,
right next to it, so it only gets a couple of hours of light in the morning
and that's it (maybe 3 hours).  Also in this patch I have a mountain
laurel, hellebore, hosta and a slew of ferns.  I also have a peony (don't
laugh, it is at the outermost corner and actually gets a decent amount of
light).  So, I'd like something that will be taller than the mountain
laurel, preferably evergreen.  Any ideas?  My researches have turned up a
couple of possibilities like Leucothoe, but I'm just not sure.

Thanks much for all your suggestions (in advance)
