Viburnum x juddii does fine in the shade. This picture is from 11-18 and you can see that the oak is so low branched that the Judd can almost not physically grow up. I think fall color is better in shade, especially if the tree holds it's leaves late and protects the Viburnum foliage from frosts. Koreanspice does ok in heavy shade also. V. sargentii is a bit lanky but if you like wispy plants that throw out flowers in suprising places, it would be fine. Aww, heck; most viburnums are going to look pretty good in high shade. Probably won't be quite as nice as in sun but should be fine. Now VV can come set me in my place!
