I have found that clematis grow great in the Portland area. They are fairly inexpensive, hard to kill and not a lot of work other than pruning them. Pruning can be a bit tricky but once you get the hang of the 3 types it's really easy.

Fuchsias do very well around here also. They are a lot of work though. And I am getting older and it gets harder and harder to bring them all in in the fall. (52 baskets of them). There are a lot of hardy varieties that grow well in the ground. They nead to be mulched well but other than that they do great in shady areas.
