You have lots of choices. Research each one for its maintenance needs. Low maintenance is the holy grail for gardeners. But it is subjective so it is your opinion that counts. Lists often include non-native honeysuckle and barberry; both of these are invasive species and should be avoided. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/shgen/shade-loving-shrubs.htm ^[1]

You have quite a few options available to you! With deep shade, or mostly shade, I would recommend going a hardiness zone lower.

Here are some articles that will help:
