Shrub suggestion for southeast VA?

We need to plant some shrubs in front of our house but have no idea which kind. I would like something that only grows about 3 feet tall (so it doesn%26#039;t grow past the windows) and stays green all year with flowers in the spring/summer. We planted encore azaelas in the fall but for some reason they didn%26#039;t make it so not sure if we should try azaleas again. Our soil is well drained and the area is shady about 75% of the time. We are in Zone 7, in southeast VA. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

holly bushes stay green and can be kept to a manageable size with regular trimming in the spring and fall. Your azaleas were probably not fertilized properly or could have been planted to deep. take caution and do not plant any deeper than the soil that they are already in.
