It’s tough to plant on the north side of buildings. Sometimes you get a break because your landscape gets morning and afternoon sun.

There are columnar evergreens and I would suggest that you visit a larger nursery to view them before you buy.  There are some arborvitaes and junipers that could work. They have very different looks. Junipers are bluer and arborvitaes are greener in hue. You may want to consider boxwood.

You don’t say how wide the space is that they will take up. When looking at shrubs, be sure to read the tag for sun requirements, growth rate, and mature height and width. 

The hydrangea is the only high plant in your list, the peony could be classified as medium and the rest would be low growing. Hydrangeas do come in different sizes so check the tags for mature height.  

Kirengeshoma is a perennial that does well in the shade. Also some of the large hostas and pulmonaria would do well.

The hydrangea and peony will both grow with less sun but may not produce blooms. More sun = more blooms.
