Good outdoor plants in Oklahoma?

I am doing some landscaping and I am looking for plants/flowers to replace the hedges in the front yard. The bushes were an eyesore and I would like to make the yard attractive for potential buyers. The area is shaded by a large tree. Do you have any suggestions on plants that like shade but can withstand dryness and windy climate in Oklahoma?

I do my own landscaping and here is what is in my yard (not my own photos but the plants are the same!) I know, some of these are sun plants, but you might get some ideas!





Four o'clocks. Small shrub. Partial sun. http://www.symbolofhope.com/PurpleFouroc...





Red twig dogwood. Small shrub. Partial sun. Pretty red twigs in winter. (Bought mine at Lowe's). http://users.bestweb.net/~habitat/red_tw...





Irises. Partial sun. Many different colors. http://www.xmission.com/~m3lody/junk/iri...





Dianthus ("pinks"). Partial sun. Many different colors. http://www.rmrp.com/Images/Plants/D/Dian...





Hostas. Full to partial shade. Many different varieties. Rich, moist soil. Likes to grow in pots. http://www.pixieforest.com/images/Hostas...





Vinca. Full to partial shade. Good ground cover. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hedgerowmob...





Daylilies. Partial to full sun. Mine are orange. http://www.bintgoddess.com/plantpics/ora...





My favorite shade solution: Small boulders and monkey grass (liriope). Some liriope likes shade and tolerates dry soil once established; it may grow quickly. Boulders can be moved around and they won't die on you!http://sarasota.extension.ufl.edu/Hort/M...





One issue with what you are trying to do is that landscaping takes time, unless you are willing to spend more on fully-grown bushes or shrubs. If the hedges are not gone, perhaps trimming them neatly and placing large pots of plants and flowers near them might give you more curb appeal. Good luck selling your home!
