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...
