Large shade loving shrub ideas please

[Judashascomeintosomemoney]

I need to plug a gap! It’s at the edge of a border but just under the overhang from some holly trees. It gets a bit of morning sun, has light, but never full sun. Ground dry ish as lots of trees but, the gap I want to plug is to block the view of a large unenclosed compost heap behind it, so the ground is probably nice and well fed. There was a small wooden outbuilding there that has now gone off to house two lambs so I can suddenly see the compost heap from the house and it’s not lovely!. I’d like some interest to it as there’s already a lot of green evergreens in the garden. Needs to either be big to start with (gap about 2m wide and 2m high) or quick growing enough to fill it quickly.
So,
Evergreen preferably
Some interest (flowers/berries/foliage colour)
Shade loving
Biggish
Not laurel, bay, holly, rhododendron - got tons already.
I’m stumped! Thank you for any ideas!

Fern

Ah ok, good suggestion. I guess there’s a lot of choice with ferns. I’ll have a look!

Hydrangea?

Viburnum? Lots of varieties and do well in partial shade.

Aldi have ferns at the moment

Fatsia japonica? They have lovely big leaves to hide compost heaps!

Good shout pinkywoo, a fatsia would be perfect.

Viburnum looks like it’s exactly the kind of ‘interest’ I was after, though I have to say Fatsia is flipping gorgeous. I do think I might be able to find room for both! I love this board, Thanks all!

Just put a "red robin" photo is in a similar spot. Pretty red, shiny leaves.

Photinia

Eunonymus altus I think the name is.A spindle bush.White flowers in spring,berries and the most amazing autumn colour of flame red.Has potential to grow bigger but daresay could be pruned in shape.

Photinia, euonymous or pittosporum. If you’re willing to have deciduous, what about a cornus?
