Hi Denise;
I would give a thought to Sasanqua Camillias.  Planted 2 1/2 to 3' on
center they can be trimmed to form a nice hedge, take the shade quite
well and bloom in late winter/early spring when very few other plants are
flowering.  A nice combination is to have 3 - 5 Arborvitae, 1 Camillia, 3
- 5 Arborvitae, ect.
