You know, I just realized that I have several Abutilons that grow in deep shade. They are evergreen here and bloom 12 months of the year. And come in tons of colors. They may tell you that they don't grow in deep shade - but it's not true.

Here is also a photo of a red leaved Lorapetalum which is blooming now. You can keep it this low with pruning or let it get taller. This one gets no direct sun.
