Here is a link that might be useful: Dry shade plants

I think that says it all. It is the best plant for dry shade areas. I'm not completley familiar with your climate but I believe they should do just fine for you. Might have to give them a little cover on the coldest of winter days but I doubt it.
The second choices would be agapanthus (great color en mass when in full bloom), hydrangeas, rhododendrons, azaleas, hostas (might need a little more water), dwarf palms, oh, the possibilities are endless.
