Val,
I have a very shady property and clay soil issues as well. Recently, I amended the soil somewhat in one area and planted toad lilies, which are great for shade and add interest/colour in the later part of summer and fall. They're great plants if you're looking to pretty up a shady spot. Here's a pic of a toad lily "Tojen" (tricyrtis Hirta) that decided to bloom like crazy today.

All the best,
Erynne
