Shade Gardening: dry shade, 1 by woodspirit1

I have deep overhangs off my roof and the area right in front of my house has nothing planted in it. I can't use a shrub unless it's quite diminutive so it has to be something like ajuga. That's because there's only a small strip of soil and then the paved driveway which almost comes right up to the door. I can get out of the car, and with 2 steps be at the front door. What can I put there that blooms longer than ajuga and can take a lot of shade? It's bright there, not like deep woods, but no direct sun. The only reason you see sun now is because the trees have not leafed out yet. The area I am talking about is to the left of the car.....
