Joseph's Take
The Distylium family of shrubs are relatively new to the market. They have become go to foundation plantings used to replace several problematic shrubs. When I'm talking to my customers, I tell them Distylium can handle shade, sun, dry, wet, good and bad soil. Vintage Jade is the low growing choice if you need something that spreads a lot but only grows 2 feet tall, it's almost a groundcover and looks great with Drift Roses.
