I think the oakleaf hydrangea is a great deeper shade plant. Deciduous in winter, but huge white long conical blooms (12-15 inches)in summer. Very easy to propagate by seeds or cuttings. Can grow wide and tall, but easily trimmed.

@@tiffanyclark-grove1989 Thanks for the reply. My bigger problem is the shade is caused by black walnut trees! You likely know the problem (juglone) with them being poisonous to many plants. The problem is most plant descriptions don’t mention susceptibility because many haven’t been tested. Yews have been successful here but I’ve put them in large cedar planters I’ve made with soil brought in from elsewhere. As I said there are a lot of wholesale nurseries in my area and they all stopped selling hemlocks years ago. Other shrubs would work (I have witch hazels, viburnums etc) but I was really looking for evergreens (privacy). I’ll probably go the deciduous route. I could go on and on. Anyway thanks again, I enjoyed the video.

Tthe native type of bush honeysuckle is not invasive. However, a look-alike plant, Asian bush honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.) is invasive. Many cultivars are bred to be sterile, meaning they don't spread seed.
