Had a (non gardening) co worker a few years ago who just moved into a different home. It was a primarily shady yard, and they could tell it had been fashioned into a garden, even though it was winter when they moved in, they could see there were lots of little plant markers in the yard with names on them.

'Purple Pixie.' A true dwarf with a weeping, cascading habit that grows 1-2 feet high and spreads 4-5 feet. You can plant it as an evergreen ground cover, but I think it's even better for a container. You can plant it in a pot that's 3 feet tall and in a couple of years, you won't be able to see the sides of the pot. It also combines pink flowers and purple leaves. (Best for in front of siding, not brick, or in natural area.) (Grumpy Gardener)
