Donna, several of my shrubby plants get big and dense enough for a screen, even in shady situations.
The deutzia Godsall Pink is 8ft tall. My deutzia gracilis variegata is also 6ft tall. Both are dense.
I have a shrub called neviusia which is 5ft tall and dense. Flowers in April
(#1 shows how dense it is in winter; #2 are the flowers).
I have several viburnums in shade, but none of mine are particularly dense.
Sorbaria is another suckering shrub which is dense enough for a screen.
Again you'll find it listed as sunloving, but has been perfectly happy in shade here.
It's lining my shaded driveway, as you can see in #3. Blooms mid-summer (July).
