I planted some shrubs on the east facing side of a hedge next to the house.

You can see some of them here:

The daffodils I have planted there have only started to flower in the last couple of days so it might be a bit colder than other parts of the garden. The eryisimum bowles's mauve in the video died in the winter but it was worth having it there for a while anyhow. osmanthus is flowering nicely this year after not doing much in the first year planted. I have also added a few rhododendron since.
