Will this survive my extreme north corner?!

Hi,
I asked a local nursery for recommendations for a shrub that will survive a cold north corner in deep shade and heavy clay and was advised to try a Cornus Elegentissima. (See pic) It has started dropping leaves which is normal but I'm worried it won't survive as it has zero sun. I really want this to thrive as it has beautiful silver variegated leaves and red stems. Plus I need something to fill that pesky north corner!
Has anyone had any success with growing these in deep shade?
Thanks.

I've got quite a few dogwoods in damp clay and fairly (though maybe not deep) shade.
They do too well! So I reckon you've got a good chance.

Ah a reply! Thanks Errol Grin Is this a dogwood I have planted? (New to all this!) Thanks.
