Hi Denise,

  Fothergilla will grow fine in dry shade (provided that it really is
  shady, otherwise it will burn).  However, it does perform a lot better
  in well-drained, moist, acidic soil with a little bit of sunlight.  

  Kerria japonica is very drought tolerant and will do fine in the 
  shade, although it will be more floriferous with a little bit of
  sun.  If you have a really dark corner, you might want to consider
  using a variegated form like 'Picta' to add more seasonal interest...
