Although Eleagnus is happy to be in shade for a lot of the time, it does appreciate some sunshine. It is a favourite of mine for winter perfume. The flowers are insignificant, but the scent is gorgeous, and will fill the garden around Christmas time. The variegated ones like "limelight" would be better for lifting a dark corner, failing that,as Mr Yan said, holly is good. Pick one with variegated leaves, and red berries in winter,- such as the female "Golden King" Although I have never grown the Huckleberry you mentioned, I think it's actually Vaccinium - or something like that - so have no experience with it, I believe it likes a fair bit of sunshine.

[QUOTE="Tetters, post: 1754, member: 11"] Although Eleagnus is happy to be in shade for a lot of the time, it does appreciate some sunshine. It is a favourite of mine for winter perfume. The flowers are insignificant, but the scent is gorgeous, and will fill the garden around Christmas time. The variegated ones like "limelight" would be better for lifting a dark corner, failing that,as Mr Yan said, holly is good. Pick one with variegated leaves, and red berries in winter,- such as the female "Golden King" 😂 Although I have never grown the Huckleberry you mentioned, I think it's actually Vaccinium - or something like that - so have no experience with it, I believe it likes a fair bit of sunshine.
