SSG - have you thought of tricyrtis (toad lilies) for that area? I got my first one about 3 years ago, and then added a few more last year, and then really added a lot more this year. They may provide the height and green foliage you are looking for with the added bonus of tiny orchid like flowers that start blooming late summer through early fall. They never caught my eye in catalogs or photos, but after I saw one first hand I was hooked. They do well in part shade.

This is my latest find to feed my plant addiction - Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Inoveris' (aka Grand Bleu Blue Mist Spirea). Woody perennial with clusters of deep blue blooms from late summer to frost over blue-green foliage. Height 2-3'h, Spread 2-3'w. DEER RESISTANT too.
