Shrub for shady corner- recommendations please

[Varnas]

Hi, I have a very shady spot in the garden that is visible from the window so I would like to plant something evergreen that:
-likes shade
-likes very moist soil
-doesn't spread more than 1m
-healty, pest resistant
-would grow between 1-3 m high or could be trimmed to that hight

At the moment I have camelia but it grows so slowly that won't be seen from the window any time soon😊

Just to add - we are in Manchester, so rainy, cool summer and I believe the soil is on the acid side.

hydrangea ? lots of different kinds ,I like lace cap .

Variegated ivy up the fence for rapid evergreen background cover. Hostas or ornamental ferns in front.
Foxgloves like shade and are tall and attractive when flowering, but will die down to ground level in winter.

I thought about hydrangea and I really like it although it is not evergreen I believe 🙄.
Any euonymus suitable for shade? They are pretty much care free but don't know which kind is best for moist soil. And I could add some ivy next to the fence. Foxgloves - don't know much about them, might try few next to the shrub.
I do have Hardy geranuim/you can see at the bottom corner/which is excellent ground cover and might get it spread around the shrub.
Any suggestions on a euonymus type?

How about Mahonia, Osmanthus ( lovely scent), Rhododendron, or a Viburnum.

fatsia japonica. Massive striking leaves.

Don't consider foxgloves if you have children, they are highly toxic even in small amounts.

I have that kind of corner and I planted a shrubby bay in it (not the trained lollipop shape, but was just a potful of stems when I got it). It is less than a metre square in area after about 5 years and I've just given it a haircut as it was about 2.5m tall. Obviously not poisonous!

It's currently covered in buds too, and fresh bay leaves are much nicer than dried.

This sort of thing - mine was the cheapest one's size when I got it.

I agree with userxx - Fatsia japonica. I have one in a spot in my garden that gets no sun at all. Evergreen, never do a thing to it. I have clay moist soil in this spot. For something smaller then skimmias look lovely all year round. Heucheras are smaller for the front of a bed but love the shade and come in various colours - I have a deep purple, a caramel one and a lime marmalade. Mine were lovely throughout the winter when everything else had shed leaves.

Viburnum Tinus is good, has flowers in winter which is a bonus, it can get big but has a tidy habit and doesnt need pruning that often to keep in check. I don't like fatsia, but then im not a fan of plants with big leaves.

Daphne is scented with lovely flowers. Hydrangeas

Not a shrub... but I grow several big ferns in my north facing shady spots, they look great.

Escallonia, Hebe, ceanothus, sarcococca /winter box might be a bit small but heavenly scent in winter or mahonia.

Thanks all for the ideas. After all, I've got acuba japonica from the nearest B&Q for 2.70 😊 Apparently likes shade and is pest resistant. And later I will fill the empty space with some annuals - probably impatiens.

That looks great Varnas

Thanks hoochymamgu, it should look like this in few years
